The Spritz code

Jay Kalinani (University of Padova)

Abstract: Spritz is a fully general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code based on the Einstein Toolkit. In this talk, I will discuss some key features of Spritz which include the implementation of high-resolution shock capturing techniques, staggered vector potential formalism, support for reading composition and temperature dependent EOS, neutrino emission/re-absorption treatment, higher order methods, as well as a new conservative-to-primitive (C2P) variable recovery scheme ‘RePrimAnd’. I will also discuss the various tests performed to validate the different implementations in Spritz, and then present the latest results from the first binary neutron star merger simulations performed with Spritz and RePrimAnd C2P scheme.
