Excising a boosted rotating black hole with overlapping grids
arXiv:gr-qc/0412109 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.124027
Abstract
We use the overlapping grids method to construct a fourth order accurate discretization of a first order reduction of the Klein-Gordon scalar field equation on a boosted spinning black hole blackground in axisymmetry. This method allows us to use a spherical outer boundary and excise the singularity from the domain with a spheroidal inner boundary which is moving with respect to the main grid. We discuss the use of higher order accurate energy conserving schemes to handle the axis of symmetry and compare it with a simpler technique based on regularity conditions. We also compare the single grid long term stability property of this formulation of the wave equation with that of a different first order reduction.
