FIL and BHAC from inspiral to ringdown and beyond

BHAC: This webinar can serve as an introduction to a state-of-the-art code designed to simulate accretion flows into compact objects. A short intro on how to use and run your first simulation with BHAC will be given. Also, recent developments concerning the code within the SPACE CoE will be briefly presented.
FIL: The webinar will be an introduction to the Einstein toolkit (ET) and FIL. FIL is designed to simulate binary neutron star collisions using high order finite difference methods and tabulated EOS. The tutorial will go through how to compile the ET and run some simple benchmarking simulations using FIL.
