In addition to being at the core of the widely employed AdS/CFT correspondence, asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes with reflective boundary conditions can serve as the arena for a range of strong gravity effects: arbitrarily small perturbations are bound to remain in the bulk, where they continue to interact and typically become sizeable. Initially, I will review a numerical scheme that enables the Cauchy evolution of these spacetimes to be performed in full generality. Then, I will present the first simulations of the trapping mechanism occurring in the exterior of a Kerr-AdS black hole. This mechanism has been conjectured to cause a non-linear instability, the existence of which remains a topic of debate. The simulations offer insights into this debate, providing new perspectives on the non-linear instability of Kerr-AdS.
