  Implementation details and test cases of a newly developed hydrodynamic code,
AMRA, are presented. The numerical scheme exploits the adaptive mesh refinement
technique coupled to modern high-resolution schemes which are suitable for
relativistic and non-relativistic flows. Various physical processes are
incorporated using the operator splitting approach, and include self-gravity,
nuclear burning, physical viscosity, implicit and explicit schemes for
conductive transport, simplified photoionization, and radiative losses from an
optically thin plasma. Several aspects related to the accuracy and stability of
the scheme are discussed in the context of hydrodynamic and astrophysical
flows.
