Numerical tests of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics

Published 15 Jul 2009 in nucl-th, hep-th, and physics.flu-dyn | (0907.2583v1)

Abstract: We present numerical methods to solve the Israel-Stewart (IS) equations of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics with bulk and shear viscosities. We then test these methods studying the Riemann problem in (1+1)-- and (2+1)-dimensional geometry. The numerical schemes investigated here are applicable to realistic (3+1)--dimensional modeling of a relativistic dissipative fluid.
