This work presents an original Finite Volume (FV) discretization of the ideal Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) equations written under updated Lagrangian representation. It is characterized by two noticeable properties: • The fullfilement of the divergence free constraint for the magnetic field at the discrete level; • The consistency with the second law of thermodynamics regarding the semi-discrete entropy.
