Meeting minutes:
Present were: Tanja, Roland, Frank, Ian, Eloisa, Erik, Peter, Josh, Bruno, Christian
Recovery/scheduling cleanup (see http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/001270.html): * there should be no need to modify existing code to keep them working, though without modifications they (eg. Whisky vs. GRHydro) might display the same inconsistencies that they currently do
ET paper: * Ian will expand the section on Kranc to 1 page * Josh and Christian will work on the GRHydro evolution section based on text that Christian will (has) commit(ted) * Josh will work through the introduction section and add bibtex entries for the missing references to einsteintoolkit.bib (from a bibtex file of a review of his own). We want to keep the number of bibtex files used to a minimum. * Christian will work on the EOS section (5.5) to describe EOS_Omni, in particular the tabulated EOS support. Will do so after finishing other work this week. * Peter will move the Tracker description into the analysis section, TmunuBase into the base thorn section. This leaves the relativity tools section short so it will be merged/restructured. * Roland will merge the AMR section in 5.8.3 with the one in the Carpet section 4.3 * Roland will move the Boundary conditions section in 5.8 into the Boundary conditions subsection of the evolution section * collect ideas for future work, and acknowledgments. Frank will compile them into a coherent text near the end of the paper writing process * examples: ** spinning BH: Peter has tapered runs and sees 4th order convergence ** BBH: Bruno does not see 4th order convergence. Tapering might help. For now Bruno will analyze the data he has and it will be decided based upon these if we want tapering. Otherwise list reasons why we do not see 4th order convergence (time interpolation, moving punctures, outer boundary conditions, ...). ** TOV: Frank has evolution data for a strongly perturbed TOV, where he sees the fundamental mode frequency and multiples of it but no higher modes. To see higher modes a weaker perturbation and more accuracy seems required ** TOV collapse: Christian has collapse parfile (and data?) ready, will commit later this week ** all: please commit parameter files and data if possible ** parameter files will be made public on a paper page ** if you have experience with the utility thorns (Timers, Formaline, others that were mentioned after my connections dropped) please consider adding them to you parameter file ** add references to physics papers with simulations similar to the examples
* we will have a short status update in the Wednesday Cactus chat this week (see http://cactuscode.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/002868.html for connection details)
Yours, Roland
