General Relativistic Hydrodynamics in Discrete Spacetime: Perfect Fluid Accretion onto Static and Spinning Black Holes
Jonathan Gorard
This study investigates the effect of spacetime discretization on accretion dynamics of a relativistic fluid onto a spinning black hole, specifically noting that accretion rates decrease with increased discretization scale and that drag force sensitivity and instabilities intensify at critical discretization values.

Hypergraph Discretization of the Cauchy Problem in General Relativity via Wolfram Model Evolution
Jonathan Gorard
This article introduces a numerical general relativity code using the Z4 formulation with hypergraph-based Cauchy data and adaptive mesh refinement, validating results against standard spacetimes and comparing with Wolfram model evolution.
