Numerical Relativity Beyond Astrophysics

 11 - 15 Jul 2011

ICMS

  • David Garfinkle , Oakland University
  • Carsten Gundlach, University of Southampton
  • Luis Lehner, Perimeter Institute and University of Guelph

About:

Two groups of questions were addressed:

  • Which open questions in mathematical relativity and fundamental physics could profit from numerical relativity solutions? Which simulations are in fact being planned? Which are most interesting or most feasible?
  • Which mathematical and numerical methods now established in astrophysical simulations can be applied to other types of simulations? Which other methods may become useful?
