Resumen:
The steady and axially symmetric flow of a perfect fluid is studied in the context of general relativistic gas dynamics. It is assumed that the flow occurs in the background field of a rotating black hole (or any compact object). The hydrodynamic equations are referred to a locally nonrotating frame and their characteristics are found. The equations describing oblique shock waves are also obtained. © 1982 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
