+<h3>Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics</h3>
+
+<p>IllinoisGRMHD solves the equations of General Relativistic 
+MagnetoHydroDynamics (GRMHD) using a high-resolution shock capturing scheme.
+It is a rewrite of the Illinois Numerical Relativity (ILNR) group's GRMHD 
+code, and generates results that agree to roundoff error with that original
+code. Its feature set coincides with the features of the ILNR group's 
+recent code (ca. 2009--2014), which was used in their modeling of the
+following systems: </p>
+<ul>
+<li> Magnetized circumbinary disk accretion onto binary black holes </li>
+<li> Magnetized black hole--neutron star mergers </li>
+<li> Magnetized Bondi flow, Bondi-Hoyle-Littleton accretion </li>
+<li> White dwarf--neutron star mergers </li>
+<p>
+IllinoisGRMHD is particularly good at modeling GRMHD flows into black holes
+without the need for excision. Its HARM-based conservative-to-primitive solver 
+has also been modified to check the physicality of conservative variables 
+prior to primitive inversion, and move them into the physical range if they 
+become unphysical.
