Numerical evolution of Brill waves
David Garfinkle, G. Comer Duncan
We report a numerical evolution of axisymmetric Brill waves. The numerical algorithm has new features, including (i) a method for keeping the metric regular on the axis and (ii) th…
Choptuik scaling in six dimensions
David Garfinkle, Curt Cutler, G. Comer Duncan
We perform numerical simulations of the critical gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field in 6 dimensions. The critical solution has discrete self-similarity.…
Scaling of curvature in sub-critical gravitational collapse
David Garfinkle, G. Comer Duncan
We perform numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. For those data that just barely do not form black holes we find the maximum…
Collapse of a Circular Loop of Cosmic String
David Garfinkle, G. Comer Duncan
We study the collapse of a circular loop of cosmic string. The gravitational field of the string is treated using the weak field approximation. The gravitational radiation from the…
