Relativistic Hydrodynamic Codes for Adiabatic and Isothermal Flows
arXiv:1102.3223
Abstract
The equation of state (EOS) is an important issue in numerical simulation codes for relativistic hydrodynamics. We describe a code for adiabatic flows, employing an EOS which is simple and yet approximates very closely the EOS of perfect gas in relativistic regime. We also describe a new code for isothermal flows, where the EoS is trivially given.
