چکیده

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 isolated contact discontinuity exactly.

A five-wave HLL Riemann solver for relativistic MHD

We present a five-wave Riemann solver for the equations of ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Our solver can be regarded as a relativistic extension of the five-wave HLLD Riemann solver initially developed by Miyoshi and Kusano for the equations of ideal MHD. The solution to the Riemann problem is approximated by a five wave pattern, comprised of two outermost fast shocks, two rotational ...

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...

A multi-state HLL approximate Riemann solver for ideal magnetohydrodynamics

A new multi-state Harten–Lax–van Leer (HLL) approximate Riemann solver for the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations is developed based on the assumption that the normal velocity is constant over the Riemann fan. This assumption is same as that used in the HLLC (‘‘C’’ denotes Contact) approximate Riemann solver for the Euler equations. From the assumption, it is naturally derived that the R...

An HLLC Solver for Relativistic Flows

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, r...

A multiwave approximate Riemann solver for ideal MHD based on relaxation. I: theoretical framework

We present a relaxation system for ideal MHD that is an extension of the Suliciu relaxation system for the Euler equations of gas dynamics. From it one can derive approximate Riemann solvers with three or seven waves, that generalize the HLLC solver for gas dynamics. Under some subcharacteristic conditions, the solvers satisfy discrete entropy inequalities, and preserve positivity of density an...
