We discuss numerical methods to solve the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic equations, paying attention to equations which describe physical phenomena in fluid dynamics. We concentrate on Godunov-type methods which adopt Riemann solvers. These methods constitute a formidable task due to complexity of hyperbolic equations. Despite this complexity we show that the Godunov-type methods can be successfully applied to simulate complex systems such as described by equations of magnetohydrodynamics. In particular, we simulate thermal mode in a two-dimensional x-point magnetic field topology that is embedded in a gravitationally stratified solar atmosphere.
