Detailed Description

template<size_t Dim>
class RelativisticEuler::Solutions::SmoothFlow< Dim >

Smooth wave propagating in Minkowski spacetime.

The relativistic Euler equations in Minkowski spacetime accept a solution with constant pressure and uniform spatial velocity provided that the rest mass density satisfies the advection equation

\begin{align*} \partial_t\rho + v^i\partial_i\rho = 0, \end{align*}

and the specific internal energy is a function of the rest mass density only, \(\epsilon = \epsilon(\rho)\). For testing purposes, this class implements this solution for the case where \(\rho\) is a sine wave. The user specifies the mean flow velocity of the fluid, the wavevector of the density profile, and the amplitude \(A\) of the density profile. In Cartesian coordinates \((x, y, z)\), and using dimensionless units, the primitive variables at a given time \(t\) are then

\begin{align*} \rho(\vec{x},t) &= 1 + A \sin(\vec{k}\cdot(\vec{x} - \vec{v}t)) \\ \vec{v}(\vec{x},t) &= [v_x, v_y, v_z]^{T},\\ P(\vec{x},t) &= P, \\ \epsilon(\vec{x}, t) &= \frac{P}{(\gamma - 1)\rho}\\ \end{align*}

where we have assumed \(\epsilon\) and \(\rho\) to be related through an equation mathematically equivalent to the equation of state of an ideal gas, where the pressure is held constant.
