Abstract
Most of the matter in the universe can, in some approximation, be treated as a fluid and in several cases a description in terms of relativistic dynamics is the most suitable. Relativistic fluid dynamics (RFD) should be applied to flows in which velocities (of individual particles or of the fluid as a whole) approach that of light in vacuum, c (~ 3 1010 cm s−1) or, alternatively, in scenarios involving huge gravitational potentials (of the order of the rest-mass energy, ~ 9 1020 erg g−1), where a description in terms of the Einstein theory of gravity becomes necessary.
