Frontiers in Numerical Relativity

Welcome to the FNR wiki!

In the history of numerical (or computational) general relativity, the "Frontiers" meeting in 1988 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (USA), played a pivotal role in establishing numerical relativity as a major topic in computational physics and simulation science. The "New Frontiers" meeting in 2006 at the AEI Potsdam convened after major breakthroughs in numerical simulations of binary systems.

Since 2022, the frequency of "Frontiers in Numerical Relativity (FNR)" meetings has increased, reflecting the growth of the field and the central role of numerical relativity in the broader context of gravitational waves, relativistic astrophysical and fundamental aspects of general relativity as well as others theories of gravity.
