Gravitational wave extraction and outer boundary conditions by perturbative matching

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

We present a method for extracting gravitational radiation from a three-dimensional numerical relativity simulation and, using the extracted data, to provide outer boundary conditions. The method treats dynamical gravitational variables as nonspherical perturbations of Schwarzschild geometry. We discuss a code which implements this method and present results of tests which have been performed with a three dimensional numerical relativity code.
