Re: [Users] Inquiry Regarding Parameter "N" in BBH Simulations

2024-05-10 Thread Peter Diener
Hello, The parameter N defines the numerical resolution, i.e. the grid spacing, used in the simulation. The setup of a Llama multipatch system is somewhat complicated, so in GW150914.rpar, N is used to calculate all the necessary quantities for setting the coordinate system up. A larger value

Hi Thejas, In the Einstein Toolkit, we use, as is common in numerical relativity, units where the speed of light, c, and the gravitational constant, G, are chosen to be c=G=1. In addition, we measure mass in units of the solar mass, M_sun. 1 solar mass can be converted into a length by

Dear Spendan, You say your simulations performed 2840 timesteps in half an hour on 32 procs, which is 5680 timesteps per hour. Running for a full day you get 132105 timesteps, i.e. 5504 timesteps per hour. So you're right there is a small difference in speed. However, remember that the grid

Hi Nick, If I understand your notation g_yy(0,1,0) correctly to mean g_yy along the y axis and g_yy(1,0,0) to g_yy along the x-axis, the statement you make is not correct. What you would expect in a spherically symmetric spacetime is that g_xx(1,0,0)=g_yy(0,1,0)=g_zz(0,0,1), i.e. gxx along x
