An extension of a beam scheme for the Newtonian gas dynamics to relativistic gas dynamics is presented. It is found that the relativistic Euler equations are split into a set of discrete conservation laws with beam split conservative state vectors and flux vectors. High-order accurate schemes using essentially nonoscillatory concepts are devised. Formulations for two space dimensions are also included. Numerical experiments with relativistic one-dimensional shock tube flows and two-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz instability flow to illustrate the method are given.
