A fully-coupled, implicit technique is developed to solve the MPD equations in two dimensions. This technique permits a wide range of MPD flow phenomena, including Hall current, and allows thermo-chemical nonequilibrium. The numerical scheme is based on Steger-Warming flux splitting, and time advancement is by Gauss-Seidel line relaxation. 15 refs.
