Detailed Description

Update the Cauchy gauge cartesian coordinate derivative \(\partial_u x(\hat x)\), as well as remaining gauge quantities \(\mathcal U^{(0)}\), \(\hat U \equiv \mathcal U - \mathcal U^{(0)}\), and \(\partial_{\hat u} \hat \omega\) to maintain asymptotically inertial angular coordinates.

Details

The constraint we must satisfy to maintain the asymptotically inertial angular coordinates is

\begin{align*}\partial_{\hat u} x^A = \mathcal U^{(0) \hat A} \partial_{\hat A} x^{A}, \end{align*}

which we compute for a representative Cartesian coordinate set on the unit sphere, to maintain representability and ensure that angular transform and derivative operations keep the desired precision. The equation we use for the Cartesian analog is:

\begin{align*}\partial_{\hat u} x^i &= \frac{1}{2} (\bar{\mathcal U}^{(0)} \hat \eth x^i + \mathcal U^{(0)} \hat{\bar \eth} x^i ) \\ &= \text{Re}(\bar{\mathcal U}^{(0)} \hat \eth x^i) \end{align*}

This computation completes the unfixed degrees of freedom for the coordinate transformation at the boundary, so also computes the gauge quantities that rely on this information \(\mathcal U^{(0)}\), \(\hat U\), and \(\partial_{\hat u} \hat \omega\).

The time derivative of \(\hat \omega\) is calculated from the equation

\begin{align*}\partial_{\hat u} \hat \omega = \frac{\hat \omega}{4} (\hat{\bar \eth} \mathcal U^{(0)} + \hat \eth \bar{\mathcal U}^{(0)}) + \frac{1}{2} (\mathcal U^{(0)} \hat{\bar \eth} \hat \omega + \bar{\mathcal U}^{(0)} \hat \eth \hat \omega) \end{align*}

Warning
Before this update call the quantity stored in the tag Cce::Tags::BondiU represents \(\mathcal U\), and after this update call, it represents \(\hat U\) (the true evolution gauge quantity).
