We present the implementation of general-relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics solvers and three divergence-free handling approaches adopted in the General-relativistic multigrid numerical (Gmunu) code.
In particular, implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta schemes are used to deal with the stiff terms in the evolution equations for small resistivity.
Three divergence-free handling methods are (i) hyperbolic divergence cleaning through a generalised Lagrange multiplier (GLM); (ii) staggered-meshed constrained transport (CT) schemes and (iii) elliptic cleaning though multigrid (MG) solver which is applicable in both cell-centred and face-centred (stagger grid) magnetic field.
The implementation has been test with a number of numerical benchmarks from special-relativistic to general-relativistic cases.
We demonstrate that our code can robustly recover a very wide range of resistivity.
We also illustrate the applications in modelling magnetised neutron stars, and compare how different divergence-free handling affects the evolution of the stars.
Furthermore, we show that the preservation of the divergence-free condition of magnetic field when staggered-meshed constrained transport schemes can be significantly improved by applying elliptic cleaning.
