Numerical relativistic hydrodynamics in planar and axisymmetric spacetimes

Numerical general relativity has typically been used in studying 1+1 dimensional spherically symmetric spacetimes, and more recently, 3+1 dimensional spacetimes without any symmetries. In this thesis, an intermediate case - 2+1+1-dimensional axisymmetric spacetimes - are studied. In the first part,...
