A high order accurate finite difference scheme with boundary closures for astrophysical simulations

ORAL

Abstract

In black hole simulations it is difficult to maintain high order accuracy for fluid evolutions in regions near excision inner-boundaries of the horizon, where many methods do not capture accurate information from the matter inflow of black hole-neutron star binary evolutions and other accretion type problems. With a multipatch Energy Stable Weighted Essentially non-Oscillatory (ESWENO) scheme, high order accuracy between patch interfaces and on domain data boundaries can be ensured for the hydrodynamic variables. We present preliminary results of a working multipatch ESWENO, focusing on multidimensional shock capture and applications for black hole accretion disk simulations.
