Efficient splitting schemes for magneto-hydrodynamic equations

We present in this paper several efficient numerical schemes for the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations. These semi-discretized (in time) schemes are based on the standard and rotational pressure-correction schemes for the Navier-Stokes equations and do not involve a projection step for the magnetic field. We show that these schemes are unconditionally energy stable, present an effective algorithm for their fully discrete versions and carry out demonstrative numerical experiments.
