Abstract:  The Euler equations are a key component of multi-physics models of many astrophysical systems, including core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers. While the Euler equations alone do not provide a realistic description of these systems, they can sometimes be used to study some of their aspects that are intractable with full-physics models.

Then I will discuss the application of the Euler equations to model the SASI. I will conclude by showing results from a recent study (Dunham et al., arXiv:2307.10904) comparing simulations using relativistic and non-relativistic implementations of the Euler equations.
