Foil 14 3:Casual differencing

From Overview of BBH Simulations Physics Colloquium -- Oct 29 1998. by Scott Klasky


1 Evolve only the exterior of the hole, ignore interior.
  • No boundary condition should be imposed at the horizon.
2 Coordinates are well-behaved:
  • Coordinates do not fall into a stationary hole
  • Hole is allowed to move through the grid.
  • Requires large shift vector: difficult in computations.
3 Using CD, quantities are evolved along the center of the local light cone, then placed at their spatial locations.
4 Casual differencing allows for arbitrary choice of shift vector, makes the courant condition independent of the shift, naturally handles black hole excision, moving holes.
