Title: Numerical Relativistic Hydrodynamics: state of the art and new ideas
Abstract:
I will discuss the modern developments in the numerical solution of the
relativistic hydrodynamics equations. In particular, I will first
introduce finite-difference methods as generic approximations of the
continuous relativistic Euler equations and then concentrate on the
problems, and solutions to these problems, that can be found within the
different approaches. Special attention will be devoted to the discussion
of Godunov-type methods, illustrating their mathematical properties and
the numerical benefits. The lecture will be extremely pedagogical and no
specific knowledge in computational physics is required.
