Kelvin-Helmholtz Ma=5 Magnitude of Magnetic Field

Magnitude of the magnetic field for Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability with Ma=5 using AstroBEAR. Dimensions: 512 x 512

A movie of this simulation is below (the full movie is available at the bottom of the page):

Another useful quantity to look at is the color. The color is a tracer that we use to track mixing. In this simulation we color the top fluid, which is moving right, black and the bottom fluid, which is moving left, white:
