+<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. +</p> + <h3>Initial Data</h3>
