Relativistic Field Loop Advection

This movie demonstrates the code's ability to maintain a divergence-less magnetic field at relativistic speeds by advecting a field loop across the grid at 0.1c. The quantity shown is the magnitude of the magnetic field. This is done using the relativisitc MHD solver in WOMBAT. Resolution: 800 x 400. CFL=0.2 going to t=40. Made by Paul Edmon at the University of Manitoba.
