A law of motion for spherical shells in special relativity

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Self-similar solutions to the problem of a special relativistic law of motion for thin shells of matter are calculated. These solutions represent the special relativistic generalization of momentum conservation for the thin layer approximation in classical physics. The analytical and numerical results are applied to Supernova Remnant 1987 A.
