Modern Numerical Tools For Astrophysical Problems — •Mario Flock — CEA, Paris, Frankreich

The development of modern numerical tools enable us to study several astrophysical problems. In recent years especially Godunov schemes with an approximate Riemann solver have become quite important for detailed investigations of supersonic flows as they are present in jets or even in young protoplanetary disks. I will present and discuss the methods used in the Godunov code PLUTO and show results of state-of-the-art 3D MHD stratified simulations of accretion disks.
