Abstract

We present numerical methods to solve the Israel–Stewart (IS) equations of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics with bulk and shear viscosities. We then test these methods studying the Riemann problem in (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional geometry. The numerical schemes investigated here are applicable to realistic (3+1)-dimensional modeling of a relativistic dissipative fluid.
