The ultra-relativistic Euler equations for an ideal gas are described in terms of the pressure, the spatial part of the dimensionless four-velocity and the particle density. Radially symmetric solutions of these equations are studied in two…

Guderley's 1942 work on radial shock waves provides cases of self-similar Euler flows exhibiting blowup of primary (undifferentiated) flow variables: a converging shock wave invades a quiescent region, and the velocity and pressure in its…
We examine finite-time blow-up solutions $(u, v)$ to \begin{align} \label{prob:star} \tag{$\star$} \begin{cases} u_t = \nabla \cdot (D(u, v) \nabla u - S(u, v) \nabla v), v_t = \Delta v - v + u \end{cases} \end{align} in a ball $\Omega…
