High Resolution Black Hole Simulations

POSTER

Abstract

Developed at the University of Texas, openGR is an open framework for numerical simulations. We discuss results of high resolution binary black hole merger simulations and the resulting gravitational radiation. Fixed Mesh Refinement (FMR) simulations using openGR were carried out on Ranger, the new supercomputer at TACC (Texas Advanced Computing Center). Convergence results are also discussed.
