Hydrodynamic equations for one-dimensional motion, of interest in supernova explosions, are integrated in the relativistic limit. A simple solution is found for free expansion into a vacuum. The propagation of a shock into a medium of decreasing density is determined, and the solution for the subsequent flow behind the shock is also obtained.
