## Binary Black Holes

### Overview

Simulations of two black holes orbiting each other and eventually merging using
the SpECTRE code. SpECTRE uses the Generalized Harmonic formulation of
Einstein's equations of general relativity to solve this problem. Since we
expect the solution of Einstein's equations to be smooth for the BBH problem,
we represent our solution using the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method because
of it's ability to represent smooth functions to high accuracy. Also, DG allows
SpECTRE to parallelize the BBH problem to exascale.
