Published by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Potsdam,...Numerical Hydrodynamics in Special Relativity- December 19, 2003 This review is concerned with a discussion of numerical methods for the solution of the equations of special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD). Particular emphasis is put on a comprehensive review of the application of high-resolution shock-capturing methods in SRHD. Results of a set of demanding test bench simulations obtained with different numerical SRHD methods are compared. Three applications (astrophysical jets, gamma-ray bursts and heavy ion collisions) of relativistic flows are...http://www.livingreviews.org/lrr-2003-7 |
