THC: a new high-order finite-difference high-resolution shock-capturing code for special-relativistic hydrodynamics

Radice, David, Rezzolla, Luciano

Understand

We present THC: a new high-order flux-vector-splitting code for Newtonian and special-relativistic hydrodynamics designed for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows.

Our code implements a variety of different reconstruction algorithms, such as the popular weighted essentially non oscillatory and monotonicity-preserving schemes, or the more specialised bandwidth-optimised WENO scheme that has been specifically designed for the study of compressible turbulence.
We show the first systematic comparison of these schemes in Newtonian physics as well as for special-relativistic flows.
In particular we will present the results obtained in simulations of grid-aligned and oblique shock waves and nonlinear, large-amplitude, smooth adiabatic waves.
