Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD) Simulations. Salmeron aims to use a novel theoretical model, incorporating (a) a realistic treatment of the microphysics, and (b) a more comprehensive range of physical mechanisms, to model protostellar disc dynamics and the fast jets that are commonly associated with them (Fig. 5.1). It will, specifically construct new, realistic models of the mechanisms responsible for angular momentum transport in a protoplanetary system, determine the resulting disc -- jet structure and examine the implications for planet formation and migration in such discs. This research project offers a fresh approach to these issues, based upon previous contributions Dr. Salmeron has made in the area of protostellar disc dynamics, particularly the modelling of magnetically-driven turbulence in accretion discs (Salmeron & Wardle 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008) and fundamental studies of the radial and vertical angular momentum transport in these systems (Salmeron et al. 2007a,b). These models are computationally intensive, particularly when a realistic ionization and thermal structure are incorporated in the calculations. COALA will be very useful for efficient testing and debugging of the code, as well as for the timely manipulation and analysis of the results.
