Algorithms for the self-consistent generation of magnetic fields in plasmas

The generation, advection and diffusion of magnetic fields in cylindrically symmetric plasmas is considered. Stable and conservative numerical schemes for treating this problem within the framework of a conventional multi-celled fluid code are presented.
