Figure 3: Analytical pressure, density and flow velocity profiles at t = 0.4 for the relativistic Riemann problem with initial data p = 103 L, r = 1.0 L, vx= 0.0 L, and p = 10 -2 R, r = 1.0 R, vx = 0.0 R, 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 g = 5/3 was assumed.
