Title: Creating Constraint Violating Initial Data

Author(s): Gabrielle Allen

T9.1 Abstract

The IDConstraintViolate thorn creates initial data which purposefully violates the constraint equations for testing purposes.

T9.2 Gaussian

Choosing the ADMBase parameter initial_data to have the value Constraint violating gaussian creates initial data with the form

( - (r--r0)2) gxx = gyy = gzz = 1+ A exp σ2 gxy = gxz = gyz = 0 Kij = 0
where the size and shape of the Gaussian is specified by parameters, A=amplitude, r0=radius and σ=sigma.

T9.5 Schedule

This section lists all the variables which are assigned storage by thorn EinsteinInitialData/IDConstraintViolate. Storage can either last for the duration of the run (Always means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned, Conditional means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned for the duration of the run if some condition is met), or can be turned on for the duration of a schedule function.
