Beschreibung
This broad treatment provides an accessible introduction to the theory and the large-scale simulation methods currently used in radiation hydrodynamics. Chapters cover all the central topics, including: a review of the fundamentals of gas dynamics; methods for computational fluid dynamics; theory of radiative transfer and of the dynamical coupling of matter and radiation; and quantum mechanics of matter-radiation interaction. Also covered are the details of spectral line formation out of thermodynamic equilibrium; the theory of refraction and transfer of polarized light and current computational methods for radiation transport, and a description of some notable applications of the theory in astrophysics and laboratory plasmas. This is a valuable text for research scientists and graduate students in physics and astrophysics.

Zusammenfassung
Radiation Hydrodynamics studies the dynamics of matter interacting with radiation, when the radiation is strong enough to have a profound effect on the matter. It applies to normal stars, to exploding stars or stars with violent winds, to active galaxies and on Earth wherever matter is very hot. This broad treatment provides an accessible introduction to the theory and the large-scale simulation methods currently used in radiation hydrodynamics. It is a valuable text for research scientists and graduate students in physics and astrophysics.
