Excision methods for high resolution shock capturing schemes applied to general relativistic hydrodynamics

Excision methods for high resolution shock capturing schemes applied to general relativistic hydrodynamics
We present a simple method for applying excision boundary conditions for the relativistic Euler equations. This method depends on the use of reconstruction-evolution methods, a standard class of high-resolution shock-capturing methods. We test three different reconstruction schemes, namely, total variation diminishing, piecewise parabolic method (PPM) and essentially nonoscillatory.
The method does not require that the coordinate system is adapted to the excision boundary. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method using tests containing discontinuities, static test fluid solutions with black holes, and full dynamical collapse of a neutron star to a black hole. A modified PPM scheme is introduced because of problems arisen when matching excision with the original PPM reconstruction scheme.

Abstract

We present a simple method for applying excision boundary conditions for the relativistic Euler equations. This method depends on the use of reconstruction-evolution methods, a standard class of high-resolution shock-capturing methods. We test three different reconstruction schemes, namely, total variation diminishing, piecewise parabolic method (PPM) and essentially nonoscillatory.
The method does not require that the coordinate system is adapted to the excision boundary. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method using tests containing discontinuities, static test fluid solutions with black holes, and full dynamical collapse of a neutron star to a black hole. A modified PPM scheme is introduced because of problems arisen when matching excision with the original PPM reconstruction scheme.
