One particular solution, +the boost-rotation-symmetric spacetimes, was the first application. + +Later, the thorn developed as a reservoir for a variety of exact spacetimes, +some of them in different coordinate systems, and even some non-Einstein +spcetimes. All od these exact spacetimes have been found useful for +testing different aspect of the code. Since mamy different people have +contributed to this thorn by adding new exact solutions, you shoudl expect +many different styles of coding here. + +For more details see the documentation in the directory doc. + |
