ASC GRAstro_Hydro Arrangement

  • Mahc_Analysis

    GRA status : non-approved
    Mark Miller

    Analysis routines for MAHC.

    Mahc_Analysis contains various routines for computing analysis variables in MAHC, such as the local speed of sound of the fluid, the quantity beta^2/alp^2, the total (conserved) rest mass of the system, and others.

  • Mahc_Boundary

    GRA status : approved
    Mark Miller

    Boundary conditions used in MAHC.

    Mahc_Boundary contains boundary conditions used not only in MAHC, but also in spacetime thorns it is coupled to, such as conf_adm. Included are several versions of robin boundary condtions, outgoing wave boundary conditions, and even a condtion that is equivelant to robin boundary condtions used in BAM_Elliptic.

  • Mahc_Evolve

    GRA status : approved
    Mark Miller

    HRSC discretization of relativistic fluid coupled to a dynamic spacetime.

    Mahc_Evolve contains a numerical solver that employs a High Resolution Shock Capturing method to solve the relativistic perfect fluid equations. The default method is Roe's method with arithmetic averaging. See Phys. Rev. D 61, 044011 (2000) for information on code tests.

  • Mahc_Init_Data

    GRA status : approved
    Mark Miller

    Various initial data sets for GR-Hydro equations.

    Mahc_Init_Data contains various initial data sets relevant to a GR-Hydro code, including shocktubes, TOV stars, and boosted TOV stars. Some initial data sets (multiple boosted tov stars) must be used in conjuction with, e.g. IVP (see GRAstro_SpaceTime) in order to satisfy the initial value constraints of general relativity.

  • Newtonian_HRSC

    GRA status : non-approved
    Philip Gressman, Lap Ming Lin

    HRSC discretization of Newtonian fluid coupled to Newtonian gravity.

    Newtonian_HRSC is a numerical solver which uses High Resolution Shock Capturing methods to solve the Euler equations of fluid flow with Newtonian gravity (for a live gravitational potential, a separate elliptic equation solver must be used to solve the Poisson equation). The method used is Roe's method with geometric averaging. Many different flux limiters are available for use.

  • Quasi_Equil

    GRA status : non-approved
    Mark Miller

    Produces intial data corresponding to quasiequilibrium neutron stars in binary orbit.

    Quasi_Equil computes initial data satisfying the initial value constraints of general relativity corresponding to quasiequilibrium neutron stars in binary corotating orbit. Several assumptions, such as conformally flat, Tr(K) = 0, and ideal fluid EOS have been assumed.

  • Resid_Quasi_Equil

    GRA status : non-approved
    Mark Miller

    An independent residual evaluator for the equations solved in thorn Quasi_Equil.

    Resid_Quasi_Equil computes independent residuals of all equations solved in Quasi_Equil (see Quasi_Equil in GRAstro_Hydro). The form of the equations computed here are the general (covariant) form of the equations solved in Quasi_Equil.
