contents Many astrophysical systems of interest to numerical relativity-such as rapidly rotating stars, black hole accretion disks, and core-collapse supernovae-exhibit near-symmetries. These systems generally consist of a strongly gravitating central object surrounded by an accretion disk, debris, and ejecta. Simulations can efficiently exploit the near-axisymmetry of these systems by reducing the number of points in the angular direction around the near-symmetry axis, enabling efficient simulations over seconds-long timescales with minimal computational expense. In this paper, we introduce GRoovy, a novel code capable of modeling astrophysical systems containing compact objects by solving the equations of general relativistic hydrodynamics (GRHD) in full general relativity using singular curvilinear (spherical-like and cylindrical-like) and Cartesian coordinates. We demonstrate the code's robustness through a battery of challenging GRHD tests, ranging from flat, static spacetimes to curved, dynamical spacetimes. These tests further showcase the code's capabilities in modeling systems with realistic, finite-temperature equations of state and neutrino cooling via a leakage scheme. GRoovy extensively leverages GRHayL, an open-source, modular, and infrastructure-agnostic general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics library built from the highly robust algorithms of IllinoisGRMHD. Long-term simulations of binary neutron star and black hole-neutron star post-merger remnants will benefit greatly from using a future Charm++-parallelized version of GRoovy to study phenomena such as remnant stability, gamma-ray bursts, and nucleosynthesis.
