In this report, we address several aspects of the approximation of the MHD equations by a Galerkin Discontinuous finite volume schemes. This work has been initiated during a CEMRACS project in july and august 2008 in Luminy. The project was entitled GADMHD (for GAlerkin Discontinuous approximation for the Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics). It has been supported by the INRIA CALVI project.
