CAFE-AMR: A computational MHD Solar Physics simulation tool that uses AMR
The study of our Sun holds significant importance in Space Weather research,
encompassing a diverse range of phenomena characterized by distinct temporal
and spatial scales. To address these complexities, we developed CAFE-AMR, an
implementation of an Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) strategy coupled with a
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equation solver, aiming to tackle Solar
Physics-related problems. CAFE-AMR employs standard fluid dynamics methods,
including Finite Volume discretization, HLL and Roe class flux formulas, linear
order reconstructors, second-order Runge-Kutta, and Corner Transport Upwind
time stepping. In this paper, we present the core structure of CAFE-AMR,
discuss and evaluate mesh refinement criteria strategies, and conduct various
tests, including simulations of idealized Solar Wind models, relevant for Space
Weather applications.Comment: 17 pages, 23 figures. Accepted for publication in MNRA
