Probing BBH Numerical Simulation Accuracy in SpEC

ORAL

Abstract

We revisit the accuracy of numerical relativity simulations of merging black holes with SpEC via the mismatch between resolutions. By analyzing the mismatch and its higher moments, we evaluate the relationships between the BBH orbital parameters and the accuracy of numerical simulations. We also apply this analysis to subsets of BBH parameter space and independent coalescence stages.
