Foil 34 Numerical Formulation of Three Dimensional Wave Equation in Polar Coordinates

From Numerical Formulation and Solution of Collision 0f two Black Holes CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
The 3D Wave
Equation is:
We will study this as "essential issues" in wave extraction are exhibited
  • More generally take position and partial derivative dependent coefficients of second derivatives and add such forcing terms
Transform to Spherical
Polar Coordinates
Introduce characteristic
    • variables:
