Fig. 22 — Time evolution of the rotational velocity profile for a stationary, rapidly rotating relativistic star (in the Cowling approximation), using the 3rd order PPM scheme and a $116^{3}$ grid. The initial rotational profile is preserved to a high degree of accuracy, even after 20 rotational periods. (Image reproduced with permission from Stergioulas and Font 2001, copyright by APS)
