Foil 3 Further Remarks on CPS713 Case Study II) Computational Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Relativity

From Overview of Monte Carlo Case Study CPSP713 -- Autumn Semester 1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Paul Coddington


Our numerical relativity example will be the collision of two black holes which is focus of a major NSF Grand Challenge involving NPAC with seven other institutions in a collaboration led by Richard Matzner at Texas.
Note that Numerical Relativity involves solution of Einstein's equations which include as a special case Maxwell's equations used to describe electromagnetic phenomena.
Thus issues of relevance to computational electromagnetics (used in study of antennas and radar cross-sections of military aircraft) are implicitly included in this case study.
Nearly all partial differential equations which are commonly encountered can be found by choosing parameters or limits in CFD or NR.
