Relativistic Numerical Hydrodynamics
“Relativistic Numerical Hydrodynamics” by James R. Wilson, published by Cambridge University Press on July 2, 2007, offers a comprehensive overview of the computational methods used in relativistic hydrodynamics. This edition spans 236 pages and is presented in English. The book focuses on the calculations essential for understanding phenomena such as supernovae and stellar collapse, providing a detailed framework for the equations and differencing schemes pertinent to special relativistic hydrodynamics.
Readers will find a thorough exploration of the Euler-Lagrange approach as it applies to various astrophysical problems. The text includes examples that illustrate the application of these computational techniques to real physical systems, detailing the process of solving the Einstein equations alongside fluid dynamics in one, two, and three dimensions. This work serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of science, physics, and astrophysics.
Official synopsis Publisher
Calculations of relativistic hydrodynamics are crucial to several areas of current research in the physics of supernovae and stellar collapse. This book provides an overview of the computational framework in which such calculations have been developed, with examples of applications to real physical systems. Beginning with the development of the equations and differencing schemes for special relativistic hydrodynamics, the book stresses the viability of the Euler-Lagrange approach to most astrophysical problems. It details aspects of solving the Einstein equations together with the fluid dynamics for various astrophysical systems in one, two and three dimensions.
