We present an update of the General-relativistic multigrid numerical (Gmunu) code, a parallelized, multi-dimensional curvilinear, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics code with an efficient non-linear cell-centred multigrid (CCMG) elliptic solver, which is fully coupled with an efficient block-based adaptive mesh refinement modules. Currently, Gmunu is able to solve the elliptic metric equations in the conformally flat condition (CFC) approximation with the multigrid approach and the equations of ideal general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics by means of high-resolution shock-capturing finite volume method with reference-metric formularise multi-dimensionally in cartesian, cylindrical or spherical geometries. To guarantee the absence of magnetic monopoles during the evolution, we have developed an elliptical divergence cleaning method by using multigrid solver. In this paper, we present the methodology, full evolution equations and implementation details of our code Gmunu and its properties and performance in some benchmarking and challenging relativistic magnetohydrodynamics problems.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Simulations predict time-dependent gamma-ray lines from r-process and iron-peak decays in accretion-induced white dwarf collapse, detectable to ~10 Mpc and absent in neutron star mergers.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Heavy scalar fields in neutron stars form interior shell-localized profiles that reshape the effective equation of state and break the I-Q relation while remaining hidden from binary pulsar observations.
