The Role of the Equation of State in Resistive Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics

Understand

We have investigated the role of the equation of state in resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics using a newly developed resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code.

• A number of numerical tests in one-dimension and multi-dimensions are carried out in order to check the robustness and accuracy of the new code.
• The code passes all the tests in situations involving both small and large uniform conductivities.
• Equations of state which closely approximate the single-component perfect relativistic gas are introduced.
