Many large-scale projects for detecting gravitational radiation
are currently being developed, all with the aim of opening a new
window onto the observable Universe. As a result, numerical
relativity has recently become a major field of research, and
Elements of Numerical Relativity and Relativistic Hydrodynamics is
a valuable primer for both graduate students and non-specialist
researchers wishing to enter the field.
A revised and significantly enlarged edition of LNP 673 Elements
of Numerical Relativity, this book starts with the most basic
insights and aspects of numerical relativity before it develops
coherent guidelines for the reliable and convenient selection of
each of the following key aspects: evolution formalism; gauge,
initial, and boundary conditions; and various numerical algorithms.
And in addition to many revisions, it includes new, convenient
damping terms for numerical implementations, a presentation of the
recently-developed harmonic formalism, and an extensive, new
chapter on matter space-times, containing a thorough introduction
to relativistic hydrodynamics.
While proper reference is given to advanced applications
requiring large computational resources, most tests and
applications in this book can be performed on a standard PC.
