Concepts of Hyperbolicity and Relativistic Continuum Mechanics
The notion of hyperbolicity of a partial differential equation (PDE), or a system of PDE’s, is central for the field theories of mathematical physics. It is closely related to the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem and to the causal structure underlying these theories. In standard theories describing relativistic fields in vacuo this causal structure is that given by the spacetime metric, a s...
متن کاملSimple waves in relativistic fluids.
We consider the Riemann problem for relativistic flows of polytropic fluids and find relations for the flow characteristics. Evolution of physical quantities takes especially simple form for the case of cold magnetized plasmas. We find exact explicit analytical solutions for one-dimensional expansion of magnetized plasma into vacuum, valid for arbitrary magnetization. We also consider expansion...
متن کاملOn Hyperbolic “Theories” of Relativistic Dissipative Fluids
It is argued that, at least for the case of Navier-Stokes fluids, the so-called hyperbolic theories of dissipation are not viable. Consider a Navier-Stokes fluid. By this, we mean a substance that, within a certain regime, may be described as follows. First, the local state of the substance must be completely characterized, within this regime, by the values of precisely five fields on space-tim...
متن کاملTemperature Evolution Law of Imperfect Relativistic Fluids
The first-order general relativistic theory of a generic dissipative (heatconducting, viscous, particle-creating) fluid is rediscussed from a unified covariant frame-independent point of view. By generalizing some previous works in the literature, we derive a formula for the temperature variation rate, which is valid both in Eckart’s (particle) and in the Landau-Lifshitz (energy) frames. Partic...
متن کاملRelativistic theories of interacting fields and fluids
We investigate divergence-type theories describing the disipative interaction betwen a field and a fluid. We look for theories which, under equilibrium conditions, reduce to the theory of a Klein-Gordon scalar field and a perfect fluid. We show that the requirements of causality and positivity of entropy production put non-trivial constraints to the structure of the interaction terms. These the...
