Authors: Matthew D. Duez, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 Abstract: We present a new code for solving the coupled Einstein-hydrodynamics equations to evolve relativistic, self-gravitating fluids. The Einstein field equations are solved on one grid using pseudospectral methods, while the fluids are evolved on another grid by finite differencing. We discuss implementation details, such as the communication between the grids and the treatment of stellar surfaces, and present code tests. |
