Binary black-hole evolutions of excision and puncture data
arXiv:gr-qc/0606079 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.76.104015
Abstract
We present a new numerical code developed for the evolution of binary black-hole spacetimes using different initial data and evolution techniques. The code is demonstrated to produce state-of-the-art simulations of orbiting and inspiralling black-hole binaries with convergent waveforms. We also present the first detailed study of the dependence of gravitational waveforms resulting from three-dimensional evolutions of different types of initial data. For this purpose we compare the waveforms generated by head-on collisions of superposed Kerr-Schild, Misner and Brill-Lindquist data over a wide range of initial separations.
