Simulations of substructures in relativistic jets

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a set of simulations of relativistic jets from accretion disk initial setup with a new code in Fortran 90 to get numerical solutions of a system of General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) partial differential equations in a fixed Black Hole (BH) spacetime which is able to show substructures formations inside the jet as well as a lobe formation on the disk. For this, a central scheme of finite volume method without dimensional split and no Riemann solvers (a Nessyahu-Tadmor method) was implemented. Thus, we were able to obtain stable numerical solutions with spurious oscillations under control and no excessive numerical dissipation. We setup a magnetized accretion disk uncharged plasma surrounding a central Schwarzschild BH immersed in a magnetosphere which evolve to the ejection of matter in the form of jet with its substructures over a distance of almost twenty times the BH radius.
