Personal Projects

GPGPU-Driven Hydrodynamics, Maxwell, and Numerical Relativity Simulation Simulates inviscid Euler fluid equations, Maxwell's equations, and ADM Bona-Masso numerical relativity equations. Demonstrates Burger’s, HLL, HLLC, and Roe schemes. Various flux limiters. Operates in 1 to 3 dimensions. Forward Euler, various Runge-Kutta (regular and TVD), integrators. Initial conditions can be specified symbolically, from which code is generated using my Lua Compute Algebra System. http://christopheremoore.net/hydrodynamics- c l/

Lua Computer Algebra System

Computer Algebra System capable of algebraic simplification, differentiation, and substitution. Support included for tensor index notation. Samples include geodesic calculating the Euler fluid equations based on Newtonian approximations of the relativistic conservation of matter stress-energy, computing the flux Jacobian of the Euler fluid equations, computing the FLRW equations. Webpage includes Emscripten- based interactive Lua demo.

Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov Solver of the Einstein Field Equations Allows the solving of the ADM primitive variables of the metric (lapse, shift, spatial metric) given the stress-energy tensor. Stress-energy tensors can be specified in terms of relativistic fluid source terms

(density, specific internal energy, pressure), electromagnetism (electric and magnetic field), with plans to extend the matter stress-energy tensor to incorporate heat and viscosity. Initial conditions of the Tolman- Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations of structure. Employs Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov method to perform the nonlinear root finding. Also includes volume data visualizer for displaying the results. https://github.com/thenumbernine/efesoln-cl-lua

https://github.com/thenumbernine/EinsteinFieldEquationSolution/ Interactive Map of the Solar System

To-scale visualization of the Sun, eight planets, and Pluto, as well as all orbiting celestial bodies, all 500,000 JPL Small Body Database objects, over 5000 exoplanets, 100,000 stars from the HYG star database, 10,000 galaxies from the Simbad database. Orbit information provided from the NASA Horizons project. Calculates accurate gravitational and tidal forces on each planet's surface using Newtonian or relativistic Schwarzschild metric. Visualizes gravitational embedding of the planet calculated by the Schwarzschild metric.

Relativistic Ray Casting

Simulates the path of light traveling along geodesics of metrics of Schwarzschild Cartesian black hole and Alcubierre warp drive bubble. Uses WebGL and GPGPU programming for integrating light rays in parallel.
