Simulations of neutron star-black hole mergers

这个项目将通过爱因斯坦广义相对论中的完全非线性数值模拟来研究黑洞和中子星的动力学。其目的是改进目前高能黑洞-中子星合并事件引力波的模型，为目前探测此类信号的努力提供支持，并利用结果在极端条件下探测物理。我们将特别关注编码在超核物质状态方程中的微物理，并进一步改进最近在广义相对论中引入大涡模式的努力(以便处理合并阶段的湍流发展)。

This project will investigate the dynamics of black holes and neutron stars via fully nonlinear numerical simulations in Einstein's general theory of relativity. The aim is to improve current models of gravitational waves from energetic black-hole neutron-star merger events, feeding into the current effort to detect such signals and use the results to probe physics under extreme conditions. We will pay particular attention to the microphysics encoded in the supranuclear matter equation of state and further improve recent efforts to introduce large-eddy modes in general relativity (in order to deal with the development of turbulence during the merger phase).
