Accretion Disk Simulations using SpECTRE.

ORAL

Abstract

We present preliminary simulation results of a magnetized accretion disk around a Kerr-black hole using SpECTRE. SpECTRE uses a hybrid discontinuous-Galerkin-finite-difference method with high-order finite differencing that is becoming increasingly common in binary merger simulations. We also compare the use of spherical coordinates vs multi-patch/multi-block framework. We offer preliminary results comparing different numerical schemes for accretion disk simulations.
