An exact solver for special relativistic riemann problems
Project description
Special Relativistic Riemann Problem Solver
One-dimensional Riemann problems have been proven to be useful tools to benchmark numerical hydrodynamic codes since they can be solved to arbitrary precision. This library implements such a solver for special relativistic hydrodynamics based on the scheme presented by Rezzolla et al. (2003) [doi: 10.1017/S0022112002003506].
Installation
This package can be obtained via pypi
pip install srrp
Example Usage
The solution of a Riemann Problem producing a rarefaction-shock pattern could look like the following code (see also examples/rarefaction-shock.py
)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import srrp
