Nuclear rings at the centers of barred galaxies are active in star formation. To understand what determines the star formation rate (SFR) and structure of nuclear rings, we conduct semi-global, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of nuclear rings subject to various mass inflow rates with and without mag...
