Cactus Code Thorn StaticConformal Author(s) : Tom Goodale Maintainer(s): Cactus team Licence : LGPL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Purpose This thorn provides the variables defining a static conformal factor which is used to transform the physical metric. If this thorn is active and the ADMBase::metric_type parameter is set to `static conformal' then the ADMBase::g... variables are the conformal values as opposed to the physical values. The transformation is $$ g_{ij}^{\mbox{physical}} = \psi^4 g_{ij}^{\mbox{conformal}} $$ The extrinsic curvature is not transformed.
