Relativistic hydrodynamics

Relativistic hydrodynamics

Turbulences

Turbulent flows are very common and play a major role in the dynamics of physical processes. These simulations show turbulence in relativistic conditions of speed and energies, such as those expected near a black hole or in the early universe; in both cases, the fluid motion is close to the speed of light. The corresponding nonlinear differential equations of relativistic hydrodynamics were solved on the supercomputers at AEI and the Garching-based Computing Centre.
