The Post-Newtonian Equations of Hydrodynamics in General Relativity.

Chandrasekhar, S.·1965·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

The standard Eulerian equations of hydrodynamics are generalized to take into account, consistently with Einstein's field equations, all effects of order 1/c2. It is further shown that these post-Newtonian equations allow integrals of motion which are entirely analogous to the Newtonian integrals that express the conservation of mass, linear momentum, angular momentum, and energy. The continued validity of these conservation laws enables a consistent definition of "mass," "momentum," and "energy" in the framework of the post-Newtonian theory. Besides the equations of motion, an appropriate tensor form of the virial theorem is also derived.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
