This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…
Qualitatively new aspects of the (linear and non-linear) stability of sheared relativistic (slab) jets are analyzed. The linear problem has been solved for a wide range of jet models well inside the ultrarelativistic domain (flow Lorentz…
We obtained self-similar solutions of relativistically expanding magnetic loops by assuming axisymmetry and a purely radial flow. The stellar rotation and the magnetic fields in the ambient plasma are neglected. We include the Newtonian…

We independently assign a non-negative value, as a capacity for the quantity of flows per unit time, with a distribution F to each edge on the Z^d lattice. We consider the maximum flows through the edges of two disjoint sets, that is from a…
In this paper we introduce concepts from relativity and geometric algebra to aeroacoustics. We do this using an acoustic space-time transformation within the framework of sound propagation in uniform flows. By using Geometric Algebra we are…
Radiatively driven transfer flow perpendicular to a luminous disk was examined under a fully special relativistic treatment, taking into account radiation transfer. The flow was assumed to be vertical, and the gravity, the gas pressure, and…
Using the analogy between a shrinking fluid vortex (`draining bathtub'), modelled as a (2+1) dimensional fluid flow with a sink at the origin, and a rotating (2+1) dimensional black hole with an ergosphere, it is shown that a scalar sound…
Irrotational relativistic vortex configurations in uniform subsonic motion with respect to a surrounding perfect fluid are analysed for the purpose of application to superfluid layers in neutron stars. Asymptotic solutions are found by…

Propagation of gravitational and acoustic plane waves in a flat universe filled with a general relativistic, homogeneous and isotropic, spatially flat continuum is studied. The continuum is described by analogues of nonrelativistic…
The hydrodynamic vortex, an effective spacetime geometry for propagating sound waves, is studied analytically. In contrast with the familiar Kerr black-hole spacetime, the hydrodynamic vortex model is described by an effective acoustic…
We have undertaken the simulation of hydrodynamic flows with bulk Lorentz factors in the range 10^2--10^6. We discuss the application of an existing relativistic, hydrodynamic primitive-variable recovery algorithm to a study of pulsar…
In this Letter, we show that magnetized relativistic outflows can exhibit a relativistic effect in which Lorentz transformation maps magnetic field topology into apparent temporal variability in the observer's frame. Using a force-free…
The constraints imposed by the relativistic compressibility hypothesis on the square of the speed of sound in a medium are obtained. This result allows to obtain purely hydrodynamic conditions for the physical reality of a perfect energy…
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 problem of the efficiency of particle acceleration for parabolic poloidal magnetic field is considered within the approach of steady axisymmetric MHD flow. For the large Michel magnetization parameter it is possible to linearize the…
