An exact Riemann Solver for multidimensional special relativistic hydrodynamics

چکیده
We have generalised the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic hydrodynamics [6] for arbitrary tangential flow velocities. The solution is obtained by solving the jump conditions across shocks plus an ordinary differential equation arising from the self-similarity condition along rarefaction waves, in a similar way as in purely normal flow. The dependence of the solution on the tangential velocities is analysed. This solution has been used to build up an exact Riemann solver implemented in a multidimensional relativistic (Godunov-type) hydro-code.

An Improved Exact Riemann Solver for Multidimensional Relativistic Flows
We extend our approach for the exact solution of the Riemann problem in relativistic hydrodynamics to the case in which the fluid velocity has components tangential to the initial discontinuity. As in one-dimensional flows, we here show that the wave-pattern produced in a multidimensional relativistic Riemann problem can be predicted entirely by examining the initial conditions. Our method is l...

We have generalised the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic hydrodynamics (Mart́ı & Müller 1994) for arbitrary tangential flow velocities. The solution is obtained by solving the jump conditions across shocks plus an ordinary differential equation arising from the self-similarity condition along rarefaction waves, in a similar way as in purely normal flow.

متن کاملA New Multidimensional Relativistic Hydrodynamics code based on Semidiscrete Central and WENO schemes
We have proposed a new High Resolution Shock Capturing (HRSC) scheme for Special Relativistic Hydrodynamics (SRHD) based on the semidiscrete central Godunov-type schemes and a modified Weighted Essentially Non-oscillatory (WENO) data reconstruction algorithm. This is the first application of the semidiscrete central schemes with high order WENO data reconstruction to the SRHD equations. This me...
متن کاملThe Piecewise Parabolic Method for Multidimensional Relativistic Fluid Dynamics
We present an extension of the Piecewise Parabolic Method to special relativistic fluid dynamics in multidimensions. The scheme is conservative, dimensionally unsplit, and suitable for a general equation of state. Temporal evolution is second-order accurate and employs characteristic projection operators; spatial interpolation is piece-wise parabolic making the scheme third-order accurate in sm...
متن کاملAn Improved Exact Riemann Solver for Relativistic Hydrodynamics
A Riemann problem with prescribed initial conditions will produce one of three possible wave patterns corresponding to the propagation of the different discontinuities that will be produced once the system is allowed to relax. In general, when solving the Riemann problem numerically, the determination of the specific wave pattern produced is obtained through some initial guess which can be succ...
