Primitive Variable Solvers for Conservative General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
Conservative numerical schemes for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) require a method for transforming between “conserved” variables such as momentum and energy density and “primitive” variables such as restmass density, internal energy, and components of the four-velocity. The forward transformation (primitive to conserved) has a closed-form solution, but the inverse transforma...
متن کاملA Numerical Method for General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
This paper describes the development and testing of a general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code to study ideal MHD in the fixed background of a Kerr black hole. The code is a direct extension of the hydrodynamic code of Hawley, Smarr, and Wilson, and uses Evans and Hawley constrained transport (CT) to evolve the magnetic fields. Two categories of test cases were undertaken. A one di...
متن کاملECHO: an Eulerian Conservative High Order scheme for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics and magnetodynamics
Aims. We present a new numerical code, ECHO, based on an Eulerian Conservative High Order scheme for time dependent threedimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) and magnetodynamics (GRMD). ECHO is aimed at providing a shock-capturing conservative method able to work at an arbitrary level of formal accuracy (for smooth flows), where the other existing GRMHD and GRMD schemes...

HARM: A Numerical Scheme for General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
We describe a conservative, shock-capturing scheme for evolving the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. The fluxes are calculated using the Harten, Lax, and van Leer scheme. A variant of constrained transport, proposed earlier by Tóth, is used to maintain a divergence free magnetic field. Only the covariant form of the metric in a coordinate basis is required to specify the ...
