General-relativistic Mhd for the Numerical Construction of Dynamical Spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
We assemble the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in 3+1 form. These consist of the complete coupled set of Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field, Einstein’s equations for the gravitational field, and the equations of relativistic MHD for a perfectly conducting ideal gas. The adopted form of the equations is suitable for evolving numerically a relativistic MHD fluid in a dynamical spacetime characterized by a strong gravitational field.

An Introduction to Local Black Hole Horizons in the 3+1 Approach to General Relativity
We present an introduction to dynamical trapping horizons as quasi-local models for black hole horizons, from the perspective of an Initial Value Problem approach to the construction of generic black hole spacetimes. We focus on the geometric and structural properties of these horizons aiming, as a main application, at the numerical evolution and analysis of black hole spacetimes in astrophysic...

A new code and methodology are introduced for solving the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) equations in fixed background spacetimes using time-explicit, finitevolume discretization. The code has options for solving the GRMHD equations using traditional artificial-viscosity (AV) or non-oscillatory central difference (NOCD) methods, or a new extended AV (eAV) scheme using artifici...
متن کاملCollapse of a Magnetized Star to a Black Hole
We study of the collapse of a magnetized spherical star to a black hole in general relativity theory. The matter and gravitational fields are described by the exact Oppenheimer-Snyder solution for the collapse of a spherical, homogeneous dust ball. We adopt a “dynamical Cowling approximation” whereby the matter and the geometry (metric), while highly dynamical, are unaffected by the electromagn...
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of the Riemann Problem in Relativistic MHD
We discuss the procedure for the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic MHD. We consider both initial states leading to a set of only three waves analogous to the ones in relativistic hydrodynamics, as well as generic initial states leading to the full set of seven MHD waves. Because of its generality, the solution presented here could serve as an important if not indispe...
متن کاملDetermination of Stability Domains for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Using the Weighted Residuals Method
Finding a suitable estimation of stability domain around stable equilibrium points is an important issue in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. This paper intends to apply a set of analytical-numerical methods to estimate the region of attraction for autonomous nonlinear systems. In mechanical and structural engineering, autonomous systems could be found in large deformation problems or c...
