Fritz Röpke (Heidelberg University) jointly with Christian Klingenberg were granted a DFG Project


"Development and astrophysical application of a well-balanced asymptotic preserving scheme for ideal magnetohydrodynamics with gravity".


The goal of this interdisciplinary collaboration is the development of new numerical schemes for three space dimensional simulations of processes in stellar interiors. There will be PhD students both in Würzburg and Heidelberg working on this project.


These PhD students are Claudius Birke in Heidelberg and Giovanni Leidi in Heidelberg.
