M2FINDERS Magneto-Hydrodynamics Simulation Workshop

The M2FINDERS MHD Simulation Workshop is a comprehensive event designed to provide a good insight into the world of astrophysical fluid simulations. This workshop is part of the M2FINDERS activities (more specifically, the Theory and Interpretation of the Observing Programme work package) and aims to introduce participants to the fundamental concepts and methodologies involved in numerical simulations of astrophysical fluids. The workshop is structured to maximise learning and hands-on experience. The mornings will be devoted to informative lectures providing a theoretical foundation and overview of the subject matter. These lectures will cover a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of astrophysical fluid dynamics to the latest developments in the field. In the afternoons, participants will have the opportunity to apply what they've learned in practical sessions. These sessions will involve working with state-of-the-art numerical codes, allowing participants to gain first-hand experience in running their own simulations. This hands-on approach not only reinforces the theoretical knowledge gained in the morning lectures, but also provides valuable skills that can be applied in future research.
