摘要
A numerical simulation of a fully relativistic jet in slab geometry is presented. The simulation uses a covariant divergence formulation of the equations of hydrodynamics. A Mach disk familiar from nonrelativistic simulations is observed. We also find relativistically narrow streaks in the pressure distribution near the aperture.
