Visualization of magnetic field structure in shock wave blasts​ (2024)

We explore the formation of a dense shell of gas from a shock wave blast explosion and the resultant effects on the surrounding magnetic field. This project focuses on modeling the gas density and magnetic field evolution in both 2 and 3 dimensions to better understand supernovae expansions and their impact on interstellar gas.
