Detailed Description

Compute the primitive variables from the conservative variables using the scheme of Palenzuela et al, Phys. Rev. D 92, 044045 (2015).

In the notation of the Palenzuela paper, tau is $Dq$, momentum_density_squared is $r^2{D}^2$, momentum_density_dot_magnetic_field is $t{D}^{\frac{3}{2}}$, magnetic_field_squared is $sD$, and rest_mass_density_times_lorentz_factor is $D$. Furthermore, the returned PrimitiveRecoveryData.rho_h_w_squared is $xD$. Note also that $h$ in the Palenzuela paper is the specific enthalpy times the rest mass density.

In terms of the conservative variables (in our notation):

$$\begin{array}{rl}q=& \frac{\tilde{\tau }}{\tilde{D}}\\ r=& \frac{{\gamma }^{mn}{\tilde{S}}_m{\tilde{S}}_n}{{\tilde{D}}^2}\\ t^2=& \frac{({\tilde{B}}^m{\tilde{S}}_m{)}^2}{{\tilde{D}}^3\sqrt{\gamma }}\\ s=& \frac{{\gamma }_{mn}{\tilde{B}}^m{\tilde{B}}^n}{\tilde{D}\sqrt{\gamma }}\end{array}$$

where the conserved variables $\tilde{D}$, ${\tilde{S}}_i$, $\tilde{\tau }$, and ${\tilde{B}}^i$ are a generalized mass-energy density, momentum density, specific internal energy density, and magnetic field, and $\gamma$ and ${\gamma }^{mn}$ are the determinant and inverse of the spatial metric ${\gamma }_{mn}$.
