Summary

The efficiency of the grid-adaptive magnetohydrodynamics code NIRVANA3 is studied. For that two three-dimensional benchmark problems are proposed: a hydrodynamical implosion problem possessing spherical symmetry and a shock-cloud collision problem in a magnetic medium. An efficiency parameter is defined which contains both the obtained speedup factor and an error estimate.
