Energy and Momentum Transfer via Coulomb Frictions in Relativistic Two Fluids
arXiv:astro-ph/0611143 · doi:10.1086/509762
Abstract
We numerically calculate the energy and momentum transfer rates due to Coulomb scattering between two fluids moving with a relative velocity. The results are fitted by simple functions. The fitting formulae are useful to simulate outflows from active galactic nuclei and compact high energy sources.
