We describe the implementation of sophisticated numerical techniques for general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations in the Athena++ code framework. Improvements over many existing codes include the use of advanced Riemann solvers and of staggered-mesh constrained transport. Combined with considerations for computational performance and parallel scalability, these allow us to investigate black hole accretion flows with unprecedented accuracy. The capability of the code is demonstrated by exploring magnetically arrested disks.

Comments: PhD thesis from 2016. 99 pages, 46 figures. A more succinct but less complete presentation of methods can be found in arXiv:1511.00943. More recent and improved application results can be found in arXiv:1903.01509. It is hoped this document can be a pedagogical resource for anyone wishing to understand the details involved in GRMHD codes. Caveat lector: there may well be typos in some formulas
