Numerical modeling of black holes as sources of gravitational waves in a nutshell

Husa, Sascha

Understand

These notes summarize basic concepts underlying numerical relativity and in particular the numerical modeling of black hole dynamics as a source of gravitational waves.

Main topics are the 3+1 decomposition of general relativity, the concept of a well-posed initial value problem, the construction of initial data for general relativity, trapped surfaces and gravitational waves.
Also, a brief summary is given of recent progress regarding the numerical evolution of black hole binary systems.
