Description
Engrenage is a spherically symmetric BSSN code designed for teaching Numerical Relativity (NR), which is the solution of the Einstein Equations of General Relativity (GR) using numerical methods. The code includes a scalar field (obeying the Klein Gordon equation for a minimally coupled spin 0 field) as the matter source of the metric curvature. It currently includes two physical examples - a black hole and a real scalar boson star (or oscillaton).
