This award supports the development and implementation of numerical techniques for solving Einstein's equations of general relativity with the goal of developing accurate and reliable computer models for black hole collisions.Computer modeling will play an important role in understanding the data gathered by the ground-based LIGO gravitational wave detector, as well as the proposed space-based detector LISA. The most common source of gravitational waves for both types of detector is expected to be collisions among black holes. This work for a source common to both will help foster communication and interaction between the ground-based and space-based gravitational wave communities. This project will also provide students with valuable skills in physics, computational science, and mathematics.

该奖项支持开发和实施求解爱因斯坦广义相对论方程的数值技术，目标是开发准确可靠的黑洞碰撞计算机模型。计算机建模将在理解地面LIGO引力波探测器以及拟议的天基探测器LISA收集的数据方面发挥重要作用。对于这两种类型的探测器，最常见的引力波来源预计是黑洞之间的碰撞。这项针对双方共同来源的工作将有助于促进地面和空间引力波社区之间的沟通和相互作用。这个项目还将为学生提供在物理、计算科学和数学方面的宝贵技能。
