Review of numerical special relativistic hydrodynamics

van Odyck, Daniel

This paper gives an overview of numerical methods for special relativistichydrodynamics (SRHD). First, a short summary of special relativity is given. Next, the SRHD equations are introduced. The exact solution for the SRHD Riemann problem is described. This solution is used in a Godunov scheme to compute solutions for two test problems. Finally, a short description is given of numerical methods used so far in SRHD.
