Relativistic Hydrodynamics

  • Chapter
Oscillations and Waves

Part of the book series: Texts and Monographs in Physics ((TMP))

Abstract

In this chapter, we consider problems of the wave dynamics of a relativistic gas. Relativistic hydrodynamics is distinguished from Newtonian hydrodynamics in the following respects: (a) it gives a correct description of the motion of particles of a fluid having speeds comparable with the speed of light; (b) it uses, of necessity, equations of state which are qualitatively different from those of the Newtonian theory, either in regions of high densities (at low temperatures) or at very high temperatures.
