Abstract

The simplest model of isotropic relativistic turbulence consists of the relativistic two-phase fluid equations augmented by an equation for the turbulent energy.This model can also be viewed as the relativistic Euler equations for a fluid with three independent entropies. Two of them are the conventional thermodynamic entropies of each phase, and the other one is associated with the turbulent energy. The resulted system of the governing equations is hyperbolic, therefore the weak discontinuities compatible with such system are studied.
