RePrimAnd Documentation

Recovery of Primitives And EOS framework

Overview

RePrimAnd is a support library for numerical simulations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. It provides methods for recovering primitive variables like pressure and velocity from the variables evolved in quasi-conservative formulations. Further, it provides a general framework for handling matter equations of state, a TOV solver, and tools for precomputed NS sequences.

A description of the recovery algorithm and tests of the library is given in the accompanying article 1.

The latest public versions can be found on the github page. Releases are also archived on Zenodo 2. Please report any problems on the issue tracker.
