</div>Thank you for the parameter file. As a unsubstantiated guess, I would<br>
try what happens if you move the outer boundary further out. Right now<br>
it sits at 50M which I would find uncomfortably close if there is any<br>
say "junk" radiation (eg from setting up a BH with spin in flat<br>
background) present. I'd move it to at least 200M (ie two more levels of<br>
mesh refinement). Not sure how likely this explanation is since your<br>
NaNs appear after many (9) light crossing times.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
Roland<br>
