Upwind Relativistic MHD Code for Astrophysical Applications

We describe the status of devolpment of a 2.5D numerical code to solve the equations of ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. The numerical code, based on high-resolution shock-capturing techniques, solves the equations written in conservation form and computes the numerical fluxes using a linearized Riemann solver. A special procedure is used to force the conservation of magnetic flux along the evolution.
