ECHO-3DHPC: relativistic accretion disks onto black holes
arXiv:1810.03542 · doi:10.1109/PDP2018.2018.00112
Abstract
Current state-of-the-art simulations of accretion flows onto black holes require a significant level of numerical sophistication, in order to allow the three-dimensional modelling of relativistic magnetised plasma in a regime of strong gravity. We present here a new version of the GRMHD code \texttt{ECHO} developed in collaboration with the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) and the Leibniz Rechenzentrum (LRZ), which employs a hybrid multidimensional MPI-OpenMP coupled with the production of MPI-HDF5 output files. The code's high degree of parallelisation has been crucial for the study of some fundamental properties of thick accretion disks around black holes, in particular the excitation of non-axisymmetric modes in presence of both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic instabilities.
