Numerical tests of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics

arXiv:0907.2583 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1194-9

Abstract

We present numerical methods to solve the Israel-Stewart (IS) equations of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics with bulk and shear viscosities. We then test these methods studying the Riemann problem in (1+1)-- and (2+1)-dimensional geometry. The numerical schemes investigated here are applicable to realistic (3+1)--dimensional modeling of a relativistic dissipative fluid.
