Foil 3 Step 0: Motivation

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


Computational solution to the Einstein Field Equations for the purposes of modeling black hole spacetimes.
Binary Black Hole mergers provide strong detectable sources of gravitational radiation.
Accurate predictions of waveforms expected to enhance the detectability of gravity waves, build database of waveforms
Computational simulations of black hole mergers are important for accurate detection and characterization of GW.
Simulations of Binary Black Hole mergers will provide insights into strong field GR as well as provide a solution to the two-body problem of GR.
