Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have constructed a numerical relativity code in which the Einstein solver, the nuclear equation of states, the magnetohydrodynamics, and neutrino radiation transport are implemented in self-consistent way. Specifically, we developed a numerical relativity-magnetohydrodynamics code and numerical relativity-neutrino radiation transport code. Because we have realized a much finer resolution than that we set when we started this program is necessary, we shift to a project of compact binary merger simulations. In this case, the timescale is shorter than that for the gravitational collapse of the massive stellar core and it is feasible to obtain a scientific result with the current affordable computational resources. We have revealed the magnetic-field amplification, the magnetohydrodinamical turbulence, and the effect of neutrino radiation in compact binary mergers.
