  • Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with random inputs based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) stochastic Galerkin approximation. A special treatment with symmetrization is carried out for the gPC stochastic Galerkin method so that the resulting deterministic gPC Galerkin system is provably symmetric hyperbolic in the spatially one-dimensional case. We discretize the hyperbolic gPC Galerkin system with a high-order path-conservative finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme in space and a third-order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta method in time. The method is also extended to two spatial dimensions via the operator splitting technique. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the numerical scheme.
