Useful resources
Several members of our collaboration completed their PhDs whilst working on GRChombo, and their theses are a useful source of information about the code and how it is used in research:
- Numerical Simulations of Instabilities in GR by M Kunesch
- Applications of Numerical Relativity Beyond Astrophysics by S Tunyasuvunakool
- Scalar fields in Numerical Relativity by K Clough
There are many useful introductions to NR, but we recommend in particular the following open source resources:
- Living Reviews in Relativity has a dedicated section on Numerical Relativity.
- Eric Gourgoulhon's notes on NR give a detailed introduction to the ADM decomposition, with a focus on the geometric interpretation.
The textbooks of Alcubierre, Baumgarte & Shapiro, and Shibata are also bookcase essentials for anyone working in NR.

One should review in particular the sections on classes and templating, which are both used extensively in the code.
