gr-engine

A simple physics engine capable of simulating General Relativity.

Features

  • Kerr and Schwarzschild spacetimes with separate coordinate systems for near-pole regions increasing accuracy
  • Propagation of point particles and entities with orientation
  • Integration of the equation of motion with either Runge-Kutta 4 or Dormand-Prince integrators

Tests/Examples

Folder "tests" contains some examples:

  • A sine wave integrated with RK4/DP
  • Shapiro delay calculator - by propagating a photon near the sun and reading the round-trip time

Documentation

Some documentation of the available classes is provided at http://fizyk20.github.io/gr-engine
