MHD in general relativity

ORAL

Abstract

Magnetic fields play an important role in many astrophysical phenomena. In this talk we present our method for solving the ideal MHD equations in general relativity. We discuss black hole excision, AMR for both fluid and geometric variables, and evolutions with dynamic geometry. Preliminary results on a black hole spacetime will be presented.
