Abstract

We review the theory of stationary, axisymmetric spacetimes with black holes surrounded by a massive torus and present a numerical scheme for finding self-consistent solutions in a compactified grid that reaches to spatial infinity. Such numerical solutions have been utilized in studying nonaxisymmetric dynamical instabilities occurring in the torus.
