Figure 3: Analytical pressure, density and flow velocity profiles at t = 0.4 for the relativistic Riemann problem with initial data p L = 103, ρ L = 1.0, vx L = 0.0, and p R = 10–2, ρR = 1.0, x vR = 0.0, varying the values of the tangential velocities. From left to right, t vR = 0, 0.9, 0.99 and from top to bottom vtL =0, 0.9, 0.99. An ideal EOS with γ = 5/3 was assumed.
