MHD

Here's a side by side comparison of the same frame in the MHD and non-MHD runs. This is with a stellar beta of 0.01, which gives a beta of a bit less than 1 near the planet. Note that the field is clearly pretty stiff.

Do we want to see how high a magnetic field we require in order to suppress the up-orbit arm? Can calculate the RM compared to Rt and Rw, to see if the approximate field value is even feasible.

Charge Exchange

Not quite steady state, but does look like it's almost there. Here's a movie up to frame 22:

Scaling on Stampede

Think I have it working now. Should be done in a few days.
