A Shock-Patching Code for Ultra-Relativistic Fluid Flows
L. Wen, A. Panaitescu, P. Laguna
We have developed a one-dimensional code to solve ultra-relativistic hydrodynamic problems, using the Glimm method for an accurate treatment of shocks and contact discontinuities.…

Impact of Relativistic Fireballs on External Matter : Numerical Models of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. Panaitescu, L. Wen, P. Laguna +1
We numerically model the interaction between an expanding fireball and a stationary external medium whose density is either homogeneous or varies with distance as a power-law. The…
