Abstract
The construction of high-resolution shock-capturing schemes is vital in producing highly accurate gravitational waveforms from neutron star binaries. The entropy based flux limiting (EFL) scheme is able to perform fast converging binary neutron star merger simulations reaching up to fourth-order convergence in the gravitational waveform phase. Here, we extend the applicability of the EFL method beyond special/general relativistic hydrodynamics to scalar conservation laws and show how to treat systems without a thermodynamic entropy. This is an indication that the method has universal applicability to any system of partial differential equations that can be written in conservation form. We also present some further very challenging special/general relativistic hydrodynamics applications of the EFL method and use it to construct eccentricity reduced initial data for a specific neutron star binary and show up to optimal fifth-order convergence in the gravitational waveform phase for this simulation.
