This paper reports a recent development of the high-order spectral difference method with divergence cleaning (SDDC) for accurate simulations of both ideal and resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on curved unstructured grids consisting of high-order isoparametric quadrilateral elements. The divergence cleaning approach is based on the improved generalized Lagrange multiplier, which is thermodynamically consistent. The SDDC method can achieve an arbitrarily high order of accuracy in spatial discretization, as demonstrated in the test problems with smooth solutions. The high-order SDDC method combined with the artificial dissipation method can sharply capture shock interfaces with the oscillation-free property and resolve small-scale vortex structures and density fluctuations on relatively sparse grids. The robustness of the codes is demonstrated through long time simulations of ideal MHD problems with progressively interacting shock structures, resistive MHD problems with high Lundquist numbers, and viscous resistive MHD problems on complex curved domains.
