The Exact Solution of the Riemann Problem in Relativistic MHD

چکیده
We discuss the procedure for the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic MHD. We consider both initial states leading to a set of only three waves analogous to the ones in relativistic hydrodynamics, as well as generic initial states leading to the full set of seven MHD waves. Because of its generality, the solution presented here could serve as an important if not indispensable test for those numerical codes solving the MHD equations in relativistic regimes †.

The exact solution of the Riemann problem in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
We discuss the procedure for the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We consider both initial states leading to a set of only three waves analogous to the ones in relativistic hydrodynamics, as well as generic initial states leading to the full set of seven MHD waves. Because of its generality, the solution presented here could serve as an i...
متن کاملThe exact solution of the Riemann problem in relativistic MHD with tangential magnetic fields
We have extended the procedure to find the exact solution of the Riemann problem in relativistic hydrodynamics to a particular case of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics in which the magnetic field of the initial states is tangential to the discontinuity and orthogonal to the flow velocity. The wave pattern produced after the break up of the initial discontinuity is analogous to the non–magnetic...
متن کاملAn exact Riemann Solver for multidimensional special relativistic hydrodynamics
We have generalised the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic hydrodynamics [6] for arbitrary tangential flow velocities. The solution is obtained by solving the jump conditions across shocks plus an ordinary differential equation arising from the self-similarity condition along rarefaction waves, in a similar way as in purely normal flow. The dependence of the solution ...
متن کاملA five-wave HLL Riemann solver for relativistic MHD
We present a five-wave Riemann solver for the equations of ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Our solver can be regarded as a relativistic extension of the five-wave HLLD Riemann solver initially developed by Miyoshi and Kusano for the equations of ideal MHD. The solution to the Riemann problem is approximated by a five wave pattern, comprised of two outermost fast shocks, two rotational ...
متن کاملThe exact solution of the Riemann problem with non - zero tangential velocities in relativistic hydrodynamics
We have generalised the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic hydrodynamics (Mart́ı & Müller 1994) for arbitrary tangential flow velocities. The solution is obtained by solving the jump conditions across shocks plus an ordinary differential equation arising from the self-similarity condition along rarefaction waves, in a similar way as in purely normal flow.
