Scientific paper

The collision of two back holes is one of the most violent events that can take place in our universe. General relativity predicts that during such a process gravitational waves will be emitted. A lot of effort has been done in the areas of detection, data analysis and numerical simulations. From the point of view of the numerical simulations, the study of emission of gravitational waves in a black-hole binary, has been extremely productive in the last 3 years. In this paper we will summarize the basic ideas behind the numerical codes used to evolve those systems and we will present two astrophysical motivated examples and the predictions of the simulations: the large gravitational recoil of the final black hole and the energy distribution obtained from the collision of two black holes at ultra-relativistic speeds.
