% *======================================================================* % Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation % Author: Ian Kelley % Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002 % $Header$ % % Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex % will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system. % The scripts employed by the make system automatically include % pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the % relevant thorn CCL files. % % This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your % documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More % information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide. % % Guidelines: % - Do not change anything before the line % % START CACTUS THORNGUIDE", % except for filling in the title, author, date, etc. fields. % - Each of these fields should only be on ONE line. % - Author names should be separated with a \\ or a comma. % - You can define your own macros, but they must appear after % the START CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and must not redefine standard % latex commands. % - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations', % 'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following % convention: % ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL % For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and % thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps % - Graphics should only be included using the graphicx package. % More specifically, with the "\includegraphics" command. Do % not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This % will allow us to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide % via pdflatex. % - References should be included with the latex "\bibitem" command. % - Use \begin{abstract}...\end{abstract} instead of \abstract{...} % - Do not use \appendix, instead include any appendices you need as % standard sections. % - For the benefit of our Perl scripts, and for future extensions, % please use simple latex. % % *======================================================================* % % Example of including a graphic image: % \begin{figure}[ht] % \begin{center} % \includegraphics[width=6cm]{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyFigure} % \end{center} % \caption{Illustration of this and that} % \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel} % \end{figure} % % Example of using a label: % \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel} % % Example of a citation: % \cite{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99} % % Example of including a reference % \bibitem{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99} % {J.

The ADM mass can be defined~\cite{Omurchadha74} as a surface integral over a sphere with infinite radius: \begin{equation} \label{eq:ADM_mass} M_{\mbox{\tiny ADM}}=\frac{1}{16\pi}\oint_\infty \sqrt{\gamma}\gamma^{ij}\gamma^{kl} (\gamma_{ik,j}-\gamma_{ij,k})\textrm{d}\! S_l \end{equation}. This is, assuming $\alpha=1$ at infinity, equivalent to \begin{equation} \label{eq:ADM_mass_volume} M_{\mbox{\tiny ADM}}=\frac{1}{16\pi}\int \left(\alpha\sqrt{\gamma}\gamma^{ij}\gamma^{kl} (\gamma_{ik,j}-\gamma_{ij,k})\right)_{,l}\textrm{d}\!^{\,3}\!\!x \end{equation}. In practice, the following equation can also be used within the thorn: \begin{equation} \label{eq:ADM_mass_lapse} M_{\mbox{\tiny ADM}}=\frac{1}{16\pi}\oint_\infty \alpha\sqrt{\gamma}\gamma^{ij}\gamma^{kl} (\gamma_{ik,j}-\gamma_{ij,k})\textrm{d}\! S_l. \end{equation} This differs from equation~(\ref{eq:ADM_mass}) by the factor $\alpha$ inside the integral. For evaluations of those equations at infinity, $\alpha=1$ is assumed, and they are equal. For evaluations at a finite distance, however, this is usually not the case and the approximation of the ADM mass is gauge-dependent~\cite{Omurchadha74}. Depending on circumstances, either~(\ref{eq:ADM_mass}),~(\ref{eq:ADM_mass_lapse} or~~(\ref{eq:ADM_mass_volume}) might give better results. \section{Using This Thorn} Multiple measurements can be done for both volume and surface integral, but the limit for both is 100 (change param.ccl if you need more). You need to specify the number of integrations with \texttt{ADMMass\_number} (and ADMMass will perform both integrations that many times). Also note that this thorn uses the ADMMacros for derivatives. Thus, converegence of results is limited to the order of these derivatives (ADMMacros::spatial\_order). ADMMass provides several possibilities to specify the (finite) integration domain, both for surface and volume integral, which we list in the following: \begin{itemize} \item Surface Integral (over rectangular domain) \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{ADMMass\_distance\_from\_grid\_boundary}: specifies the distance between the physical domain boundary and the integration domain. If this is set, this fully specifies the domain boundary. \item \texttt{ADMMass\_surface\_distance}: specifies a distance of the integration boundary from a given point, specified using \texttt{ADMMass\_x\_pos[3]}. \item Otherwise, \texttt{ADMMass\_[xyz]\_[min|max]} specify a rectangular integration domain. \end{itemize} \item Volume Integral (over sphere) \begin{itemize} \item If \texttt{ADMMass\_use\_all\_volume\_as\_volume\_radius} is set, the whole volume is used for integration. \item If \texttt{ADMMass\_use\_surface\_distance\_as\_volume\_radius} is set and \texttt{ADMMass\_volume\_radius} is not (negative), \texttt{ADMMass\_surface\_distance} is used to specify the integration radius. \item Otherwise, \texttt{ADMMass\_volume\_radius} specifies this radius. \item \texttt{ADMMass\_[xyz]\_pos} specify the position of the integration sphere. \item Use \texttt{ADMMass\_Excise\_Horizons} to exclude domains where thorn \texttt{OutsideMask} didn't specify domain as \texttt{outside}. This can be used to, e.g. excise black hole apparent horizons. \end{itemize} \end{itemize} You should output \texttt{ADMMass::ADMMass\_Masses} for the result of the integrations, which will include the results for the volume integral, the usual surface integral and the sorface integral including the lapse. % Do not delete next line % END CACTUS THORNGUIDE \end{document}
