Step 0: Motivation
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.
