In fluid mechanics and astrophysics, the relativistic Euler equations are a generalization of the Euler equations that account for the effects of general relativity. They have applications in high-energy astrophysics and numerical relativity, where they are commonly used for describing phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts, accretion phenomena, and neutron stars, often with the addition of a magnetic field.^[1] Note: for consistency with the literature, this article makes use of natural units, namely the speed of light ${\displaystyle c=1}$ and the Einstein summation convention.
