Analysis of Maxwell Equations in a Gravitational Field
نویسنده
چکیده
In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations, the correponding electromagnetic wave and continuity equations. A particular solution for parellel electric and magnetic fields in a gravitational background is presented. These solutions also satisfy the free-wave equations and the phenomenology suggested by plasma physics.

General-relativistic Mhd for the Numerical Construction of Dynamical Spacetimes
We assemble the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in 3+1 form. These consist of the complete coupled set of Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field, Einstein’s equations for the gravitational field, and the equations of relativistic MHD for a perfectly conducting ideal gas. The adopted form of the equations is suitable for evolving numerically a relativistic M...
متن کاملA Novel Indicator to Predict the Onset of Instability of a Gravitational Flow on a Slope
In order to present a quantitative indicator for the onset of instability, in this paper, the critical points of a stratified gravitational flow on a slope are found and analyzed. These points are obtained by means of the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations via the standard Arakawa-C finite-difference method. Results show that in the marginal Richardson numbers, the critical...

We find new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations for a charged sphere with a particular choice of the electric field intensity and one of the gravitational potentials. The condition of pressure isotropy is reduced to a linear, second order differential equation which can be solved in general. Consequently we can find exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell fiel...

Detailed analysis of the coupled Dirac-Maxwell equations and the structure of their solutions is presented. Numerical solutions of the field equations in the case of spherical symmetry with negligible gravitational self-interaction reveal the existence of families of solitons with electric field dominance that are completely determined by the observed charge and mass of the underlying particles...
متن کاملOn a description of Gravitational Interaction between moving objects in terms of Spatial Gravitational Fields
Analyzing two simple experimental situations we show that from Newton’s law of gravitation and Special Relativity it follows that the motion of particle in an external gravitational field can be described in terms of effective spatial fields which satisfy Maxwell-like system of equations and propagate with the speed of light. The description is adequate in a linear approximation in gravitationa...
