Linear Stability of Shock Waves in Ultrarelativistic Anisotropic Hydrodynamics

Abstract

Linear stability of a plane shock waves in ultrarelativistic anisotropic hydrodynamics is investigated. The properties of the amplitudes of perturbations of physical quantities are studied depending on the components of the wave vector of a small harmonic perturbation. Analytical calculationsfor the longitudinal and transverse propagation of shock wave normal with respect to the anisotropy axis (beam-axis) and numerical calculations for an arbitrary polar angle are carried out.
