Dynamical shift conditions for the Z4 and BSSN hyperbolic formalisms

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

A class of dynamical shift conditions is shown to lead to a strongly hyperbolic evolution system, both in the Z4 and in the BSSN Numerical Relativity formalisms. This class generalizes the harmonic shift condition, where light speed is the only non-trivial characteristic speed, and it is contained into the multi-parameter family of minimal distortion shift conditions recently proposed by Lindblom and Scheel. The relationship with the analogous 'dynamical freezing' shift conditions used in black hole simulations discussed.
