特征演变与匹配

Characteristic Evolution and Matching

Jeffrey Winicour

摘要:

回顾了基于特征初值问题的广义相对论数值演化程序的发展。特征演化的进展可以追溯到早期的一维可行性研究,二维轴对称代码,准确地模拟相对论恒星的振荡和引力坍缩,目前的三维代码,提供一个二元黑洞时空的碎片。柯西码现在已经成功地模拟了人工构造的外边界内的二元黑洞问题的各个方面。特征演化的主要应用是将这种模拟扩展到零无穷大,其中可以明确地计算来自二进制螺旋和合并的波形。这现在已经通过柯西特征提取来完成,其中特征演化的数据由人工外边界内的提取世界管上的柯西数据提供。特征演化的最终应用是通过柯西特征匹配构造全局解来消除外边界的作用。在这方面的进展进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

I review the development of numerical evolution codes for general relativity based upon the characteristic initial value problem. Progress in characteristic evolution is traced from the early stage of 1D feasibility studies to 2D axisymmetric codes that accurately simulate the oscillations and gravitational collapse of relativistic stars and to current 3D codes that provide pieces of a binary black hole spacetime. Cauchy codes have now been successful at simulating all aspects of the binary black hole problem inside an artificially constructed outer boundary. A prime application of characteristic evolution is to extend such simulations to null infinity where the waveform from the binary inspiral and merger can be unambiguously computed. This has now been accomplished by Cauchy-characteristic extraction, where data for the characteristic evolution is supplied by Cauchy data on an extraction worldtube inside the artificial outer boundary. The ultimate application of characteristic evolution is to eliminate the role of this outer boundary by constructing a global solution via Cauchy-characteristic matching. Progress in this direction is discussed.
