Spectral Methods for Numerical Relativity
Equations arising in general relativity are usually too complicated to be solved analytically and one must rely on numerical methods to solve sets of coupled partial differential equations. Among the possible choices, this paper focuses on a class called spectral methods in which, typically, the various functions are expanded in sets of orthogonal polynomials or functions. First, a theoretical ...
متن کاملSpectral Methods for Numerical Relativity. The Initial Data Problem
For example, investigating the Hamiltonian constraint equation for a black hole with angular momentum we find that, where finite difference solutions require a resolution of 1024×384 (radial×angular) grid points to find a solution of fractional error 10−5 in the ADM mass, a PSC solution achieves the same accuracy with only 12× 4 collocation points. Furthermore, the fractional error is reduced t...
متن کاملA new spectral apparent horizon finder for 3D numerical relativity
We present a new spectral-method based algorithm for finding apparent horizons in three-dimensional spacelike hypersurfaces without symmetries. While there are already a wide variety of algorithms for finding apparent horizons, our new algorithm does not suffer from the same weakness as previous spectral apparent horizon finders: namely the monopolar coefficient (l = 0 in terms of the spherical...
متن کاملFlux Limiter Methods in 3d Numerical Relativity
New numerical methods have been applied in relativity to obtain a numerical evolution of Einstein equations much more robust and stable. Starting from 3+1 formalism and with the evolution equations written as a FOFCH (first-order flux conservative hyperbolic) system, advanced numerical methods from CFD (computational fluid dynamics) have been successfully applied. A flux limiter mechanism has b...
متن کاملNumerical Relativity
Solutions to Einstein’s equations of general relativity describe, among other things, the generation and propagation of gravitational waves. Interest in numerical relativity has been bolstered by the recent construction of gravitational wave observatories such as LIGO (the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory). This NSF-supported project consists of two observatories (near Hanfo...
