Abstract

Description

We present results of global 3D MHD simulations of disk accretion to a rotating star with dipole and more complex magnetic fields using a Godunov-type code based on the "cubed sphere" grid developed earlier in our group. We describe the code and the grid and show examples of simulation results.
