Symmetric hyperbolic Euler equations for relativistic perfect fluids

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The Euler equations governing a relativistic perfect fluid are put into symmetric hyperbolic form with dependent variables the fluid's specific entropy plus a generalized velocity vector equal to the fluid's unit relativistic velocity vector divided pointwise by the fluid's specific enthalpy.
