Numerical black holes: A moving grid approach

Numerical black holes: A moving grid approach

Spherically symmetric (one-dimensional) (black-hole) spacetimes are considered as a test for numerical relativity. A finite difference code, based in the hyperbolic structure of Einstein's equations with the harmonic slicing condition, is presented. Significant errors in the mass function are shown to arise from the steep gradient zone behind the black-hole …
