Stellar evolution codes play a major role in present-day astrophysics, yet they share common simplifications related to the outer layers of stars. We seek to improve on this by the use of results from realistic and highly detailed 3D…

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) couples the Navier--Stokes and Maxwell equations into a nonlinear system of partial differential equations governing stellar interiors, astrophysical jets, fusion plasmas, and space weather. Numerical advances,…
