We present THC: a new high-order flux-vector-splitting code for Newtonian and special-relativistic hydrodynamics designed for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows. Our code implements a variety of different reconstruction algorithms, such as the popular weighted essentially non oscillatory and monotonicity-preserving schemes, or the more specialised bandwidth-optimised WENO scheme that has been specifically designed for the study of compressible turbulence. We show the first systematic comparison of these schemes in Newtonian physics as well as for special-relativistic flows. In particular we will present the results obtained in simulations of grid-aligned and oblique shock waves and nonlinear, large-amplitude, smooth adiabatic waves. We will also discuss the results obtained in classical benchmarks such as the double-Mach shock reflection test in Newtonian physics or the linear and nonlinear development of the relativistic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in two and three dimensions. Finally, we study the turbulent flow induced by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and we show that our code is able to obtain well-converged velocity spectra, from which we benchmark the effective resolution of the different schemes.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Long 3D simulations of neutron star merger ejecta show radioactive heating keeps reshaping heavy-element outflows, and 3D light curves are dimmer but no closer to AT2017gfo than 2D ones.

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Prompt-collapse neutron star merger remnants occupy a narrow, high-spin region of the mass-spin plane, and Cosmic Explorer could use tidal deformability to classify most such mergers as neutron star events out to 100-250 Mpc.

    Future high-frequency-sensitive GW detectors can distinguish binary neutron star from low-mass black hole mergers in late phases, enabling separation of merger rates and constraints on heavy non-annihilating dark matt...

  6. A "Neural" Riemann solver for Relativistic Hydrodynamics

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Small neural networks trained on exact solutions can replace the iterative root-finding in a relativistic Riemann solver, giving exact-like accuracy about 14 times faster in 1D tests.

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    By matching population-synthesis predictions to the observed ratio of long to short GRBs from binary neutron star mergers, the authors infer that the long-short remnant transition lies near M_ls ~ 1.3 M_TOV.

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spectral equations of state reduce cost and improve accuracy in SpEC neutron star merger simulations, but the most efficient choice requires an unrealistic low-density recipe.

    In neutron star merger remnants, neutrinos decouple at densities around 10^11 g/cm^3 for average energies, while heavy-flavor neutrinos freeze out of equilibrium deeper, at several times 10^12 g/cm^3.
