coming soon: ET 2021 summer school at UIUC
by Roland Haas 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hello all, the 2021 ET summer school will start in 2 weeks: July 26th to July 30th 2021 The scientific program is now mostly set and posted to: https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/et2021uiuc/program.html The Einstein Toolkit school is intended to cover the theory behind the Einstein Toolkit's main evolution methods, theory and practise of generating and using initial data for binary neutron as well as hands on exercises on how to run simulations and extend the Einstein Toolkit. Registrations for participation are still accepted, no more lightning talks are accepted at this point. Yours, Roland -- My email is as private as my paper mail. I therefore support encrypting and signing email messages. Get my PGP key from http://pgp.mit.edu .

Meeting minutes for 2021-07-08
by Leonardo Rosa Werneck 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Chair: Peter Minutes: Leo Present: David, Leo, Miguel, Peter, Roland, Yosef, Zach * Any SpEC updates? No, Roland will send an email. * Any updates on the status of LORENE? Not from anyone in the call. Roland will email Josh about this. * Summer school updates? The program is ready. You can find it on the ETK summer school site (https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/et2021uiuc/). All invited speakers have been contacted. There is still a hole in the schedule which the organizers are currently trying to fill. * David: is there any plans on having a hardware expert for the ETK? No, there are those who are able to help, but not someone dedicated to only doing that. * David: what exactly is the configuration script doing? Difficult to answer, because the entire process is scripted and involves a decision tree. But in a nutshell, a few Perl scripts are called and then make is invoked. * Next ET release: need to find a new release manager. * Unanswered questions in the mailing list: ** http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2021-July/008056.html Roland: Likely the answer to the question is simply that there are reflections happening at the refinement boundaries. Particularly the fact that the constraint violations appear to increase towards the corner of the AMR grids is a good indicator that this is being caused by spurious reflections and interpolation errors. It is possible to mitigate these effects by tweaking some of the parameters. Zach: Very hard to answer and reproduce without having the user's parameter file. It could be an issue with the con2prim in the hydro code, in which e.g. a fluid velocity is coupled to one of the CCZ4 modes and leads to these large errors. Also, why use CCZ4 here? Has BSSN already been tested? ** http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2021-July/008060.html Roland: The fact that PPM and WENO display different behavior in the maximum density over time is not too surprising since the two are quite different. However, the fact that WENO and WENO-Z also display large differences is a bit strange, as the latter is just a slight modification of the former with a few extra things added. Zach: I don't really know what to make of the plots. It may be a problem with the WENO implementation in GRHydro. Would reply to the user: could you please simplify the test a bit? Looking at a BNS is too difficult a test to diagnose these issue, so it would be better to look at convergence tests for a single NS. Roland: Also suspects that the user is using the MHD option in GRHydro but with zero magnetic fields. Zach: Again, it would be easier for us to understand what the user is doing if we had access to their parameter file. Another test that could be performed would be to start with a single NS and then place a refinement level *inside* the star. All the refinement boundary issues should be greatly amplified, but the system should still be stable. Next week's chair: Roland Next week's minutes: Bill

Workshop on Binary Neutron Stars Next Week (July 12-16)
by Yosef Zlochower 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Hi, Our Theory and Computational Astrophysics Network (TCAN) is hosting an international workshop to discuss the science, observations and simulations of binary neutron stars and black hole - neutron star mergers. The meeting will be held virtually over zoom. The dates will be July 12--16; all talk sessions will be in the morning, US Eastern time. The afternoons will be dedicated to open format discussions. You can view our full schedule here: https://compact-binaries.org/node/2856 <https://compact-binaries.org/node/2856> The topics for the talks on day 1 will focus on reviewing the status of the merger simulations for both BNS and BH/NS binaries. On day 2, talks will be dedicated to nuclear physics, equation of state, nucleosynthesis and post merger simulations. On day 3 (July 14) , the topics will range from particle transport in fluid dynamics, radiation transport and kilonovae. Finally, day 4 we will be dedicated to magnetic field amplification and topology, and jet launching. If you would like to attend, please register by sending me (yosef(a)astro.rit.edu) an email by Sunday 5pm EDT. There is no fee associated with attending.

recon_method dependency (weno)
by Hee Il Kim 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hi I'm reporting on recon_method dependency issue at least found in Turing and Lorentz. I've been studying BNS evolution by taking some of the Parma group models as references (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.93.064047). But there were significant differences in merger time, t_merger. At the moment, I will put aside direct comparison between the GRHydro of Parma and recents ones. What I've found is that WENO of Turing/Lorentz produces much shorter inspiraling time (See the attached figure). But WENO-Z/PPM/MP5, they all produce similar inspiraling time. Of course, depending on resolutions, they produce different merging behaviour but as shown in the figure, higher-res PPM matches with lower-res WENO-Z nicely, which is consistent with our expectations. I've got the identical results for both Turing and Lorentz versions. I've missed recent GRHydro developments for a long time and I have no guesses for the discrepancy. I hope GRHydro developers examine this issue for the consistency of the recon_method. Thanks for your help in advance. Hee Il

Submitting a simulation via simfactory on a cluster
by Konrad Topolski 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. I set ppn to 48 and managed to properly set up all .run, .ini, .sub and .cfg according to my clusters' configuration. Now all starts up the way I want it, the MPI processes are reporting for duty and there is output from Cactus. When trying to run the gallery example GW150914.rpar, I am getting an error though: WARNING level 0 from host nid00268 process 0 while executing schedule bin BoundaryConditions, routine CoordinatesSymmetry::CoordinatesSymmetry_Apply_FirstPass in thorn CoordinatesSymmetry, file /lustre/tetyda/home/topolski/Cactus/arrangements/Llama/CoordinatesSymmetry/src/apply.c:665: -> Cannot apply symmetry boundary zones in the lower x direction, since there seem to be more symmetry zones than interior zones cactus_okeanos: /lustre/tetyda/home/topolski/Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/Carpet/src/helpers.cc:275: int Carpet::Abort(const _cGH *, int): Assertion `0' failed. Rank 0 with PID 272 This example is said to have been tested on 19-Nov-2020 - have there been any changes since which made the parameter file obsolete, or should I start troubleshooting my configuration?
