We briefly review the foundations of a new relativistic fluid dynamics framework for polarized systems of particles with spin one half. Using this approach we numerically study the dynamics of the spin polarization of a rotating medium…

The helical absolute equilibrium of a compressible adiabatic flow presents not only the polarization between the two purely helical modes of opposite chiralities but also that between the vortical and acoustic modes, deviating from the…

Zero viscosity limits are central to the study of classical shock waves. By identifying the correct physical (Lax admissible) shocks, they are a cornerstone in the design of analytical and numerical schemes. For relativistic fluid flow,…

The connection is established between two different action principles for perfect fluids in the context of general relativity. For one of these actions, $S$, the fluid four--velocity is expressed as a sum of products of scalar fields and…

From the fundamental requirement of causality, we derive a rigorous criterion of negative refraction (left-handedness). This criterion imposes the lower limits on the electric and magnetic losses in the region of the negative refraction. If…

Models for astrophysical plasmas often have magnetic field lines that leave the boundary rather than closing within the computational domain. Thus, the relative magnetic helicity is frequently used in place of the usual magnetic helicity,…
