We present BHAC-QGP, a new numerical code to simulate the evolution of matter created in heavy-ion collisions. BHAC-QGP is based on Black Hole Accretion Code (BHAC), which has been designed model astrophysical processes through solution equations general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Like mother code, uses Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR), allows for dynamic adjustment resolution regions computational domain where particularly high accuracy needed. here discuss number applications Au-Au collisions at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) energies and show that able reproduce results other simulations these scenarios, but with much higher accuracy.
