Abstract

The aim of this project is to study the fundamentals of the theory of general relativity and, as an application, to analyze examples of analogue models of gravity in hydrodynamics. Specifically, we will revisit the cases of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom black hole analogues in the context of effectively quasi-one-dimensional flows
