In this thesis four separate problems in general relativity are considered, divided into two separate themes: coordinate conditions and perfect fluid spheres. Regarding coordinate conditions we present a pedagogical discussion of how the…
Ever since Karl Schwarzschild's 1916 discovery of the spacetime geometry describing the interior of a particular idealized general relativistic star -- a static spherically symmetric blob of fluid with position-independent density -- the…
The properties of a transformation previously considered for generating new perfect-fluid solutions from known ones are further investigated. It is assumed that the four-velocity of the fluid is parallel to the stationary Killing field, and…
Perfect fluid spheres, both Newtonian and relativistic, have attracted considerable attention as the first step in developing realistic stellar models (or models for fluid planets). Whereas there have been some early hints on how one might…
The first static spherically symmetric perfect fluid solution with constant density was found by Schwarzschild in 1918. Generically, perfect fluid spheres are interesting because they are first approximations to any attempt at building a…
We consider a broad class of static, spherically symmetric generalized Schwarzschild-like solutions with multiple non-interacting anisotropic fluid sources and derive the coordinate transformation from Schwarzschild-like (curvature) to…
We report several new transformation theorems that map perfect fluid spheres into perfect fluid spheres. In addition, we report new ``solution generating'' theorems for the TOV, whereby any given solution can be ``deformed'' to a new…
We introduce a formulation of Eulerian general relativistic hydrodynamics which is applicable for (perfect) fluid data prescribed on either spacelike or null hypersurfaces. Simple explicit expressions for the characteristic speeds and…
We generate an explicit four-fold infinity of physically acceptable exact perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's equations by way of conformal transformations of physically unacceptable solutions (one way to view the use of isotropic…
Despite the fact that the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions for the Einstein equations, when written in standard Schwarzschild and Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, present coordinate singularities, all numerical studies of accretion flows onto…
Formulating a perfect fluid filled spherically symmetric metric utilizing the 3+1 formalism for general relativity, we show that the metric coefficients are completely determined by the mass-energy distribution, and its time rate of change…
Interior perfect fluid solutions for the Reissner-Nordstrom metric are studied on the basis of a new classification scheme. General formulas are found in many cases. Explicit new global solutions are given as illustrations. Known solutions…
We obtain the general $n(\ge 4)$-dimensional static solution with an $(n-2)$-dimensional Einstein base manifold for a perfect fluid obeying a linear equation of state $p=-(n-3)\rho/(n+1)$. It is a generalization of Semiz's four-dimensional…
By a choice of new variables the pressure isotropy condition for spherically symmetric static perfect fluid spacetimes can be made a quadratic algebraic equation in one of the two functions appearing in it. Using the other variable as a…
Exploiting a rotating Schwarzschild black hole metric, we study hydrodynamic properties of perfect fluid whirling inward toward the black holes along a conical surface. On the equatorial plane of the rotating Schwarzschild black hole, we…
Most general relativity textbooks devote considerable space to the simplest example of a black hole containing a singularity, the Schwarzschild geometry. However only a few discuss the dynamical process of gravitational collapse, by which…
Two general-relativistic hydrodynamical models are considered: a model of self-gravitating static configurations of perfect fluid and a model of steady accretion of fluid onto a black hole. We generalise analytic results obtained for the…
This paper is devoted in the study of the hydrostatic equilibrium of stellar structure in the framework of modified $f(R, T)$ gravity theory that allows the non-conservation of energy-momentum, with possible implications for several…
A global view is given upon the study of collapsing shear-free perfect fluid spheres with heat flow. We apply a compact formalism, which simplifies the isotropy condition and the condition for conformal flatness. This formalism also…
