Introduction:¶

This tutorial notebook constructs SymPy expressions for the right-hand sides of the time-evolution equations for the gauge fields $\alpha$ (the lapse, governing how much proper time elapses at each point between one timestep in a 3+1 solution to Einstein's equations and the next) and $\beta^i$ (the shift, governing how much proper distance numerical grid points move from one timestep in a 3+1 solution to Einstein's equations and the next).

Though we are completely free to choose gauge conditions (i.e., free to choose the form of the right-hand sides of the gauge time evolution equations), very few have been found robust in the presence of (puncture) black holes. So we focus here only on a few of the most stable choices.

Step 1: Initialize needed Python/NRPy+ modules [Back to top]¶

$\label{initializenrpy}$

Let's start by importing all the needed modules from Python/NRPy+:

In [1]:

# Step 1: Import all needed modules from NRPy+:
import sympy as sp                # SymPy: The Python computer algebra package upon which NRPy+ depends
import NRPy_param_funcs as par    # NRPy+: Parameter interface
import grid as gri                # NRPy+: Functions having to do with numerical grids
import indexedexp as ixp          # NRPy+: Symbolic indexed expression (e.g., tensors, vectors, etc.) support
import reference_metric as rfm    # NRPy+: Reference metric support
import BSSN.BSSN_quantities as Bq # NRPy+: Computes useful BSSN quantities
import BSSN.BSSN_RHSs as Brhs     # NRPy+: Constructs BSSN right-hand-side expressions
import sys                        # Standard Python modules for multiplatform OS-level functions

# Step 1.c: Declare/initialize parameters for this module
thismodule = "BSSN_gauge_RHSs"
par.initialize_param(par.glb_param("char", thismodule, "LapseEvolutionOption", "OnePlusLog"))
par.initialize_param(par.glb_param("char", thismodule, "ShiftEvolutionOption", "GammaDriving2ndOrder_Covariant"))

# Step 1.d: Set spatial dimension (must be 3 for BSSN, as BSSN is
#           a 3+1-dimensional decomposition of the general
#           relativistic field equations)
DIM = 3

# Step 1.e: Given the chosen coordinate system, set up
#           corresponding reference metric and needed
#           reference metric quantities
# The following function call sets up the reference metric
#    and related quantities, including rescaling matrices ReDD,
#    ReU, and hatted quantities.
rfm.reference_metric()

# Step 1.f: Define BSSN scalars & tensors (in terms of rescaled BSSN quantities)
import BSSN.BSSN_quantities as Bq
Bq.BSSN_basic_tensors()
Bq.betaU_derivs()

import BSSN.BSSN_RHSs as Brhs
Brhs.BSSN_RHSs()

Step 2: Right-hand side of $\partial_t \alpha$ [Back to top]¶

$\label{lapseconditions}$

Step 2.a: $1+\log$ lapse [Back to top]¶

$\label{onepluslog}$

The $1=\log$ lapse condition is a member of the Bona-Masso family of lapse choices, which has the desirable property of singularity avoidance. As is common (e.g., see Campanelli et al (2005)), we make the replacement $\partial_t \to \partial_0 = \partial_t - \beta^i \partial_i$ to ensure lapse characteristics advect with the shift. The bracketed term in the $1+\log$ lapse condition below encodes the shift advection term:

$\begin{align} \partial_0 \alpha &= -2 \alpha K \\ \implies \partial_t \alpha &= \left[\beta^i \partial_i \alpha\right] - 2 \alpha K \end{align}$

In [2]:

# Step 2.a: The 1+log lapse condition:
#   \partial_t \alpha = \beta^i \alpha_{,i} - 2*\alpha*K
# First import expressions from BSSN_quantities
cf    = Bq.cf
trK   = Bq.trK
alpha = Bq.alpha
betaU = Bq.betaU

# Implement the 1+log lapse condition
if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::LapseEvolutionOption") == "OnePlusLog":
    alpha_rhs = -2*alpha*trK
    alpha_dupD = ixp.declarerank1("alpha_dupD")
    for i in range(DIM):
        alpha_rhs += betaU[i]*alpha_dupD[i]

Step 2.b: Harmonic slicing [Back to top]¶

$\label{harmonicslicing}$

As defined on Pg 2 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9902024.pdf , this is given by

$\partial_t \alpha = \partial_t e^{6 \phi} = 6 e^{6 \phi} \partial_t \phi$

$\text{cf} = W = e^{-2 \phi},$

then

$6 e^{6 \phi} \partial_t \phi = 6 W^{-3} \partial_t \phi.$

However,

$\partial_t \phi = -\partial_t \text{cf} / (2 \text{cf})$

(as described above), so if cf $=W$ , then

$\begin{align} \partial_t \alpha &= 6 e^{6 \phi} \partial_t \phi \\ &= 6 W^{-3} \left(-\frac{\partial_t W}{2 W}\right) \\ &= -3 \text{cf}^{-4} \text{cf}\_\text{rhs} \end{align}$

Exercise to students: Implement Harmonic slicing for cf $=\chi$

In [3]:

# Step 2.b: Implement the harmonic slicing lapse condition
if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::LapseEvolutionOption") == "HarmonicSlicing":
    if par.parval_from_str("BSSN.BSSN_quantities::EvolvedConformalFactor_cf") == "W":
        alpha_rhs = -3*cf**(-4)*Brhs.cf_rhs
    elif par.parval_from_str("BSSN.BSSN_quantities::EvolvedConformalFactor_cf") == "phi":
        alpha_rhs = 6*sp.exp(6*cf)*Brhs.cf_rhs
    else:
        print("Error LapseEvolutionOption==HarmonicSlicing unsupported for EvolvedConformalFactor_cf!=(W or phi)")
        sys.exit(1)

Step 2.c: Frozen lapse [Back to top]¶

$\label{frozen}$

This slicing condition is given by

$\partial_t \alpha = 0,$

which is rarely a stable lapse condition.

In [4]:

# Step 2.c: Frozen lapse
#    \partial_t \alpha = 0
if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::LapseEvolutionOption") == "Frozen":
    alpha_rhs = sp.sympify(0)

Step 2.d: Alternative $1+\log$ lapse for Static Trumpet initial data [Back to top]¶

$\label{statictrumpet_onepluslog}$

An alternative to the standard 1+log condition to be used with Static Trumpet initial data, the lapse is evolved according to a condition consistent with staticity, given by equation 67 in Ruchlin, Etienne, & Baumgarte (2018)

$\begin{align} \partial_0 \alpha &= -\alpha(1 - \alpha) K \\ \implies \partial_t \alpha &= \left[\beta^i \partial_i \alpha\right] -\alpha(1 - \alpha) K \end{align}$

In [5]:

# Step 2.d: Alternative 1+log lapse condition:
#   \partial_t \alpha = \beta^i \alpha_{,i} -\alpha*(1 - \alpha)*K

# Implement the alternative 1+log lapse condition
if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::LapseEvolutionOption") == "OnePlusLogAlt":
    alpha_rhs = -alpha*(1 - alpha)*trK
    alpha_dupD = ixp.declarerank1("alpha_dupD")
    for i in range(DIM):
        alpha_rhs += betaU[i]*alpha_dupD[i]

Step 3: Right-hand side of $\partial_t \beta^i$ : Second-order Gamma-driving shift conditions [Back to top]¶

$\label{shiftconditions}$

The motivation behind Gamma-driving shift conditions are well documented in the book Numerical Relativity by Baumgarte & Shapiro.

Step 3.a: Original, non-covariant Gamma-driving shift condition [Back to top]¶

$\label{origgammadriving}$

Option 1: Non-Covariant, Second-Order Shift

We adopt the shifting (i.e., advecting) shift non-covariant, second-order shift condition:

$\begin{align} \partial_0 \beta^i &= B^{i} \\ \partial_0 B^i &= \frac{3}{4} \partial_{0} \bar{\Lambda}^{i} - \eta B^{i} \\ \implies \partial_t \beta^i &= \left[\beta^j \partial_j \beta^i\right] + B^{i} \\ \partial_t B^i &= \left[\beta^j \partial_j B^i\right] + \frac{3}{4} \partial_{0} \bar{\Lambda}^{i} - \eta B^{i}, \end{align}$ where

$\eta$ is the shift damping parameter, and

$\partial_{0} \bar{\Lambda}^{i}$ in the right-hand side of the

$\partial_{0} B^{i}$ equation is computed by adding

$\beta^j \partial_j \bar{\Lambda}^i$ to the right-hand side expression given for

$\partial_t \bar{\Lambda}^i$ in the BSSN time-evolution equations as listed here, so no explicit time dependence occurs in the right-hand sides of the BSSN evolution equations and the Method of Lines can be applied directly.

In [6]:

# Step 3.a: Set \partial_t \beta^i
# First import expressions from BSSN_quantities
BU         = Bq.BU
betU       = Bq.betU
betaU_dupD = Bq.betaU_dupD
# Define needed quantities
beta_rhsU = ixp.zerorank1()
B_rhsU = ixp.zerorank1()
if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::ShiftEvolutionOption") == "GammaDriving2ndOrder_NoCovariant":

    # *  \partial_t \beta^i = \beta^j \beta^i_{,j} + B^i

        beta_rhsU[i] += BU[i]

    # Step 3.a.iv: Compute \partial_0 \bar{\Lambda}^i = (\partial_t - \beta^i \partial_i) \bar{\Lambda}^j
    Lambdabar_partial0 = ixp.zerorank1()
    for i in range(DIM):
        Lambdabar_partial0[i] = Brhs.Lambdabar_rhsU[i]
    for i in range(DIM):
        for j in range(DIM):
            Lambdabar_partial0[j] += -betaU[i]*Brhs.LambdabarU_dupD[j][i]

    # Step 3.a.v: Evaluate RHS of B^i:
    for i in range(DIM):
        B_rhsU[i] += sp.Rational(3,4)*Lambdabar_partial0[i] - eta*BU[i]
        for j in range(DIM):
            B_rhsU[i] += betaU[j]*BU_dupD[i][j]

Step 3.b: Brown's suggested covariant Gamma-driving shift condition [Back to top]¶

$\label{covgammadriving}$

Step 3.b.i: The right-hand side of the $\partial_t \beta^i$ equation [Back to top]¶

$\label{partial_beta}$

This is Brown's suggested formulation (Eq. 20b; note that Eq. 20a is the same as our lapse condition, as $\bar{D}_j \alpha = \partial_j \alpha$ for scalar $\alpha$ ):

$\partial_t \beta^i = \left[\beta^j \bar{D}_j \beta^i\right] + B^{i}$ Based on the definition of covariant derivative, we have

$\bar{D}_{j} \beta^{i} = \beta^i_{,j} + \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} \beta^m,$ so the above equation becomes

$\begin{align} \partial_t \beta^i &= \left[\beta^j \left(\beta^i_{,j} + \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} \beta^m\right)\right] + B^{i}\\ &= {\underbrace {\textstyle \beta^j \beta^i_{,j}}_{\text{Term 1}}} + {\underbrace {\textstyle \beta^j \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} \beta^m}_{\text{Term 2}}} + {\underbrace {\textstyle B^i}_{\text{Term 3}}} \end{align}$

In [7]:

    # Term 3: B^i
    for i in range(DIM):
        beta_rhsU[i] += BU[i]

Step 3.b.ii: The right-hand side of the $\partial_t B^i$ equation [Back to top]¶

$\label{partial_upper_b}$

$\partial_t B^i = \left[\beta^j \bar{D}_j B^i\right] + \frac{3}{4}\left( \partial_t \bar{\Lambda}^{i} - \beta^j \bar{D}_j \bar{\Lambda}^{i} \right) - \eta B^{i}$

Based on the definition of covariant derivative, we have for vector $V^i$

$\bar{D}_{j} V^{i} = V^i_{,j} + \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} V^m,$ so the above equation becomes

$\begin{align} \partial_t B^i &= \left[\beta^j \left(B^i_{,j} + \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} B^m\right)\right] + \frac{3}{4}\left[ \partial_t \bar{\Lambda}^{i} - \beta^j \left(\bar{\Lambda}^i_{,j} + \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} \bar{\Lambda}^m\right) \right] - \eta B^{i} \\ &= {\underbrace {\textstyle \beta^j B^i_{,j}}_{\text{Term 1}}} + {\underbrace {\textstyle \beta^j \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} B^m}_{\text{Term 2}}} + {\underbrace {\textstyle \frac{3}{4}\partial_t \bar{\Lambda}^{i}}_{\text{Term 3}}} - {\underbrace {\textstyle \frac{3}{4}\beta^j \bar{\Lambda}^i_{,j}}_{\text{Term 4}}} - {\underbrace {\textstyle \frac{3}{4}\beta^j \bar{\Gamma}^i_{mj} \bar{\Lambda}^m}_{\text{Term 5}}} - {\underbrace {\textstyle \eta B^i}_{\text{Term 6}}} \end{align}$

Step 3.c: Non-advecting Gamma-driving shift condition (used for evolving "Static Trumpet" initial data) [Back to top]¶

$\label{statictrumpet_nonadvecgammadriving}$

For the shift vector evolution equation, we desire only that the right-hand sides vanish analytically (although numerical error is expected to result in specious evolution). To this end, we adopt the nonadvecting Gamma-driver condition, given by equations 68a and 68b in Ruchlin, Etienne, & Baumgarte (2018)

$\begin{align} \partial_t \beta^i &= B^{i} \\ \partial_t B^i &= \frac{3}{4} \partial_{t} \bar{\Lambda}^{i} - \eta B^{i}, \end{align}$

In [9]:

# Step 3.c: Set \partial_t \beta^i

if par.parval_from_str(thismodule+"::ShiftEvolutionOption") == "NonAdvectingGammaDriving":
    # Step 3.c.i: Compute right-hand side of beta^i
    # *  \partial_t \beta^i = B^i
    for i in range(DIM):
        beta_rhsU[i] += BU[i]

    # Compute right-hand side of B^i:
    eta = par.Cparameters("REAL", thismodule, ["eta"],2.0)

    # Step 3.c.ii: Compute right-hand side of B^i
    # *  \partial_t B^i     = 3/4 * \partial_t \Lambda^i - eta B^i

    for i in range(DIM):
        B_rhsU[i] += sp.Rational(3,4)*Brhs.Lambdabar_rhsU[i] - eta*BU[i]

Step 4: Rescale right-hand sides of BSSN gauge equations [Back to top]¶

$\label{rescale}$

Next we rescale the right-hand sides of the BSSN equations so that the evolved variables are $\left\{h_{i j},a_{i j},\text{cf}, K, \lambda^{i}, \alpha, \mathcal{V}^i, \mathcal{B}^i\right\}$

In [10]:

#         variables may remain smooth across coord singularities

bet_rhsU    = ixp.zerorank1()
for i in range(DIM):
    vet_rhsU[i]    =   beta_rhsU[i] / rfm.ReU[i]
    bet_rhsU[i]    =      B_rhsU[i] / rfm.ReU[i]

Step 5: Code Validation against `BSSN.BSSN_gauge_RHSs` NRPy+ module [Back to top]¶

$\label{code_validation}$

Here, as a code validation check, we verify agreement in the SymPy expressions for the RHSs of the BSSN gauge equations between

this tutorial and
the NRPy+ BSSN.BSSN_gauge_RHSs module.

By default, we analyze the RHSs in Spherical coordinates and with the covariant Gamma-driving second-order shift condition, though other coordinate systems & gauge conditions may be chosen.

In [11]:

# Step 5: We already have SymPy expressions for BSSN gauge RHS expressions
#         in terms of other SymPy variables. Even if we reset the
#         list of NRPy+ gridfunctions, these *SymPy* expressions for
#         BSSN RHS variables *will remain unaffected*.
#
#         Here, we will use the above-defined BSSN gauge RHS expressions
#         to validate against the same expressions in the
#         BSSN/BSSN_gauge_RHSs.py file, to ensure consistency between
#         this tutorial and the module itself.
#
# Reset the list of gridfunctions, as registering a gridfunction
#   twice will spawn an error.
