Foil 27 CPS713 Case Study II) Some Common Issues between CFD and Numerical Relativity

From Overview of CFD and Numerical Relativity Case Study CPSP713 -- Autumn Semester 1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Both problems are coupled systems of second order partial differential equations
Both can involve solution of metaproblems -- coupling between different systems of equations
  • In CFD, Metaproblems seen in Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design
  • in NR, Metaproblem seen in coupling of constraint and evolution equations
Both problems require numerical experimentation to develop working codes
  • Many unsolved issues requiring new physics insight implemented well numerically
  • One cannot specify today the "right" approach to CFD or NR
Both problems have elliptic and hyperbolic equations
Similarities suggest we develop a toolkit applicable for either or both applications
