The mhdFoam solver is currently an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equation solver. It solves the coupled Maxwell-Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid. The fluid electrical conductivity is presumed constant.

Some people in the OpenFOAM community are working on more general MHD solvers, but these are not yet complete enough to be included in the OpenFOAM distribution.
