General-relativistic radiation transport scheme in $\text{Gmunu}$ I: Implementation of two-moment based multi-frequency radiative transfer and code tests

Abstract

We present the implementation of two-moment based general-relativistic multi-group radiation transport module in the $\text{G}$eneral-relativistic $\text{mu}$ltigrid $\text{nu}$merical ($\text{Gmunu}$) code. On top of solving the general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics and the Einstein equations with conformally flat approximations, the code solves the evolution equations of the zeroth- and first-order moments of the radiations. Analytic closure relation is used to obtain the higher order moments and close the system. The finite-volume discretisation has been adopted for the radiation moments. The advection in spatial and frequency spaces are handled explicitly. In addition, the radiation-matter interaction terms, which are very stiff in the optically thick region, are solved implicitly. Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta schemes are adopted for time integration. We test the implementation with a number of numerical benchmarks from frequency-integrated to frequency dependent cases. Furthermore, we also illustrate the astrophysical applications in hot neutron star and core-collapse supernovae modellings, and compare with other neutrino transport codes.
