Hi Bill,
Matt Duez had a very nice talk last year on GRMHD at the US Einstein
Toolkit conference which is on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1oTx5M6R1U
You can of course read the papers on the most known GR(M)HD papers such
as for IllinoisGRMHD (https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.07276) and GRHydro
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1304.5544). Many of these codes have changed
since the papers, but the fundamentals are there. To my knowledge all
current public codes handle ideal hydro (i.e. no treatment for
viscosity) and radiation hydrodynamics are usually limited to grey
leakage schemes. Also resistivity has seen limited implementation even
in closed-source codes.
You can also look at the initial data videos from the EinsteinToolkit
youtube channel which discuss Lorene in quite some detail and there are
a couple of videos on FUKA initial data as well. Hopefully the videos
from the US conference that just took place will be posted soon as FUKA
has changed quite a bit in the last year. A web reference for FUKA can
be found here samueltootle.github.io/fuka including reference papers.
Best of luck,
Samuel Tootle

Okay this is a general question...how are relativistic fluids handled in
the Einstein Toolkit? Yup, overly broad I know. So more specifically,
o Are there good reviews, references, or lectures that describe how we
currently handle fluids? For the different models?
o I gather we have several models/codes: GRHydro and IllinoisGRMHD, so
resources on those would be much appreciated.
o And initial data readers exist for the LORENE (1 and 2?) and for the
FUKA data...resources there might be helpful too.
I am hoping for some introductory information (a review would be great)
on all our fluid codes, as well as other codes used in other numerical
relativity systems.
Some context: I rub elbows with mathematicians who work in
relativisitic fluids (ideal, viscous, etc) and they do not believe that
any codes out there can do fluids "correctly." I am trying to
understand what we do in the Toolkit and also what they expect
"correctly" (my language) to be.
thanks for any help, bill e.g.
