Cylindrically symmetric relativistic fluids and the purely electric Weyl tensor

Abstract

In General Relativity (GR), the analysis of electric and magnetic Weyl tensors has been studied by various authors. The present study deals with cylindrically symmetric relativistic fluids in GR characterized by the vanishing of magnetic Weyl tensor-purely electric (PE) fields. A very new assumption has been adapted to solve the Einstein's equations and the obtained solution is shearing at all. We signified the importance of PE fields in the context of expansion scalar, energy density, shear and acceleration.
