Numerical relativity is a subfield of computational physics that aims to establish numerical solutions to Einstein's field equations in general relativity. Despite promising results, accurate and validated algorithms for Einstein's equations remain elusive. The size and complexity of the equations along with persisting inquiries in fundamental issues of relativity theory are attributed the cause of thus far unsuccessful attempts at resolution. Nonetheless, the field has prodigiously expanded in recent years as engaging research continues.
Numerical relativity aims for comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of strong dynamical gravitational fields. Another topic is the initial value problem of vacuum relativity. This involves partial differential equations, discretization techniques for these equations, treatment of black hole spacetimes, and the imposition of boundary conditions.
Numerical relativity is distinct from work on classical field theories. Many facets are however shared with large scale problems in other computational sciences like computational fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, and solid mechanics. Numerical relativists often work with applied mathematicians and draw insight from numerical analysis, scientific computation, partial differential equations, and geometry among other mathematical areas of specialization.
