Efficient modeling of low magnetic Reynolds number (low-Rm) magnetohydrodynamics is often challenging and requires the implementation of innovative techniques to avoid key barriers experienced with prior approaches. We detail a new paradigm for first-principles simulation of the solution to the low-Rm governing equations in complex geometries. As a result of a number of innovative numerical advances, the next-generation GPU (graphics processing unit) accelerated physics code LGR has been successfully applied to the modeling of exploding wire problems.
