{{More citations needed|date=April 2020}} In [[fluid mechanics]] and [[astrophysics]], the '''relativistic Euler equations''' are a generalization of the [[Euler equations (fluid dynamics)|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 burst]]s, [[Accretion disk|accretion phenomena]], and [[neutron star]]s, often with the addition of a [[Magnetohydrodynamics|magnetic field]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Rezzolla, L.
