Stationary forcing: do the same results hold?

Determine whether the numerical and statistical results obtained for gravitational wave turbulence within the Hadad–Zakharov metric under freely decaying initial conditions are reproduced in a statistically forced stationary regime.

Background

The paper presents direct numerical simulations of gravitational wave turbulence within the Hadad–Zakharov (HZ) metric and reports several statistical features, including a dual cascade and scaling behaviours. These simulations are performed in a freely decaying setting (no external forcing).

The authors note that assessing intermittency and other statistics would benefit from a statistically steady state, prompting the question of whether the same results would hold under sustained forcing.

References

Several open questions arise from this work. Most notably, would the same results be recovered in a statistically forced stationary regime?
