Combining cauchy and characteristic codes. V. cauchy-characteristic matching for a spherical spacetime containing a perfect fluid
This paper is part of a long term program to develop CCM (combined Cauchy and characteristic) codes as investigative tools in numerical relativity. The approach has two distinct features: (i) it dispenses with an outer boundary condition and replaces this with matching conditions at an interface between the Cauchy and characteristic regions, and (ii) by employing a compactified coordinate, it proves possible to generate global solutions. In this paper it is shown that CCM can be used effectively to model a spherically symmetric perfect fluid. A particular advantage of CCM in avoiding arbitrary mass inflow-outflow boundary conditions is pointed out. Results are presented which include fluid distributions which form black holes and those which give rise to mass outflow.

Abstract
This paper is part of a long term program to develop CCM (combined Cauchy and characteristic) codes as investigative tools in numerical relativity. The approach has two distinct features: (i) it dispenses with an outer boundary condition and replaces this with matching conditions at an interface between the Cauchy and characteristic regions, and (ii) by employing a compactified coordinate, it proves possible to generate global solutions. In this paper it is shown that CCM can be used effectively to model a spherically symmetric perfect fluid. A particular advantage of CCM in avoiding arbitrary mass inflow-outflow boundary conditions is pointed out. Results are presented which include fluid distributions which form black holes and those which give rise to mass outflow.
