Radiation controls the dynamics and energetics of many astrophysical environments. To capture the coupling between the radiation and matter, however, is often a physically complex and computationally expensive endeavour. We develop a numerical tool to perform radiation-hydrodynamics simulations in various configurations at an affordable cost. We build upon the finite volume code MPI-AMRVAC to solve the equations of hydrodynamics on multi-dimensional adaptive meshes and introduce a new module to handle the coupling with radiation. A non-equilibrium, flux-limiting diffusion approximation is used to close the radiation momentum and energy equations. The time-dependent radiation energy equation is then solved within a flexible framework, accounting fully for radiation forces and work terms and further allowing the user to adopt a variety of descriptions for the radiation-matter interaction terms (the opacities). We validate the radiation module on a set of standard testcases for which different terms of the radiative energy equation predominate. As a preliminary application to a scientific case, we calculate spherically symmetric models of the radiation-driven and optically thick supersonic outflows from massive Wolf-Rayet stars. This also demonstrates our codes flexibility, as the illustrated simulation combines opacities typically used in static stellar structure models with a parametrised form for the enhanced line-opacity expected in supersonic flows. This new module provides a convenient and versatile tool to perform multi-dimensional and high resolution radiative-hydrodynamics simulations in optically thick environments with the MPI-AMRVAC code. The code is ready to be used for a variety of astrophysical applications, where a first target for us will be multi-dimensional simulations of stellar outflows from Wolf-Rayet stars.
We analyze the mixed frame equations of radiation hydrodynamics under the approximations of flux-limited diffusion and a thermal radiation field, and derive the minimal set of evolution equations that includes all terms that are of leading order in a
We report on the latest additions to our open-source, block-grid adaptive framework MPI-AMRVAC, which is a general toolkit for especially hyperbolic/parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Applications traditionally focused on shock-dominate
We present the new code NADA-FLD to solve multi-dimensional neutrino-hydrodynamics in full general relativity (GR) in spherical polar coordinates. The energy-dependent neutrino transport assumes the flux-limited diffusion (FLD) approximation and evol
Aims. The importance of radiation to the physical structure of protoplanetary disks cannot be understated. However, protoplanetary disks evolve with time, and so to understand disk evolution and by association, disk structure, one should solve the co
We present a new radiative transfer method (SPH-M1RT) that is coupled dynamically with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We implement it in the (task-based parallel) SWIFT galaxy simulation code but it can be straightforwardly implemented in oth
