An HLLC Solver for Relativistic Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an extension of the HLLC approximate Riemann solver by Toro, Spruce and Speares to the relativistic equations of fluid dynamics. The solver retains the simplicity of the original two-wave formulation proposed by Harten, Lax and van Leer (HLL) but it restores the missing contact wave in the solution of the Riemann problem. The resulting numerical scheme is computationally efficient, robust and positively conservative. The performance of the new solver is evaluated through numerical testing in one and two dimensions.

Relativistic MHD Simulations of Jets with Toroidal Magnetic Fields
Abstract. This paper presents an application of the recent relativistic HLLC approximate Riemann solver by Mignone & Bodo to magnetized flows with vanishing normal component of the magnetic field. The numerical scheme is validated in two dimensions by investigating the propagation of axisymmetric jets with toroidal magnetic fields. The selected jet models show that the HLLC solver yields sharpe...
متن کاملHLLC solver for ideal relativistic MHD
An approximate Riemann solver of Godunov type for ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations (RMHD) named as HLLC (“C” denotes contact) is developed. In HLLC the Riemann fan is approximated by two intermediate states, which are separated by the entropy wave. Numerical tests show that HLLC resolves contact discontinuity more accurately than the Harten-Lax-van Leer (HLL) method and an isola...
متن کاملA preconditioned solver for sharp resolution of multiphase flows at all Mach numbers
A preconditioned five-equation two-phase model coupled with an interface sharpening technique is introduced for simulation of a wide range of multiphase flows with both high and low Mach regimes. Harten-Lax-van Leer-Contact (HLLC) Riemann solver is implemented for solving the discretized equations while tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) interface sharpening method is applied ...
متن کاملAn HLLC Solver for Relativistic Flows – II. Magnetohydrodynamics
An approximate Riemann solver for the equations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) is derived. The HLLC solver, originally developed by Toro, Spruce and Spears, generalizes the algorithm described in a previous paper (Mignone & Bodo 2004) to the case where magnetic fields are present. The solution to the Riemann problem is approximated by two constant states bounded by two fast shocks ...
متن کاملAn Approximate Harten-Lax-van Leer Riemann Solver for Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics
An approximate Riemann solver for the equations of ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamics is presented. The solver belongs to the so-called Harten-Laxvan Leer (HLL, [1]) family of solvers where an initial guess to the characteristic wave speeds is given without any knowledge a priori of the solution. Our proposed method of solution generalizes to the relativistic case the classical five-wave H...
