Abstract
The numerical investigation of a finite volume scheme for the ideal MH D, introduced by the authors in a preceding paper, is pursued. This sc heme is based on an original flux-splitting formula, partly kinetic ba sed. It is simple, robust and is inherently consistent with the equati on V . B = 0 on the magnetic field. Numerical tests in one and two dim ensions with the second order version of the scheme are displayed, sho wing its efficiency. The numerical dissipation is estimated.
