Constraint-Preserving Boundary Conditions for the Linearized Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura Formulation
We derive two sets of explicit homogeneous algebraic constraint-preserving boundary conditions for the second-order in time reduction of the linearized Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura BSSN system. Our second-order reduction involves components of the linearized extrinsic curvature only. An initial-boundary value problem for the original linearized BSSN system is formulated and the existence ...
متن کاملMomentumflow in black-hole binaries. II. Numerical simulations of equal-mass, head-onmergers with antiparallel spins
Research on extracting science from binary-black-hole (BBH) simulations has often adopted a ‘‘scattering matrix’’ perspective: given the binary’s initial parameters, what are the final hole’s parameters and the emitted gravitational waveform? In contrast, we are using BBH simulations to explore the nonlinear dynamics of curved spacetime. Focusing on the head-on plunge, merger, and ringdown of a...
متن کاملHydrodynamic simulations in 3¿1 general relativity
We solve Einstein’s field equations coupled to relativistic hydrodynamics in full 311 general relativity to evolve astrophysical systems characterized by strong gravitational fields. We model rotating, collapsing and binary stars by idealized polytropic equations of state, with neutron stars as the main application. Our scheme is based on the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formulation of th...
متن کاملAccurate evolutions of orbiting black-hole binaries without excision.
We present a new algorithm for evolving orbiting black-hole binaries that does not require excision or a corotating shift. Our algorithm is based on a novel technique to handle the singular puncture conformal factor. This system, based on the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formulation of Einstein's equations, when used with a "precollapsed" initial lapse, is nonsingular at the start of the ...
متن کاملStrongly hyperbolic second order Einstein’s evolution equations
BSSN-type evolution equations are discussed. The name refers to the Baumgarte, Shapiro, Shibata, and Nakamura version of the Einstein evolution equations, without introducing the conformal-traceless decomposition but keeping the three connection functions and including a densitized lapse. It is proved that a pseudodifferential first order reduction of these equations is strongly hyperbolic. In ...
