Radiation Hydrodynamics
Editorial Reviews
Review
'We are in very safe hands as the author takes us on a guided tour of this extensive subject matter. For a relatively compact book, Castor manages to present a surprising amount of material. This is a testament to Castor's writing style; although at times very formal, he manages to avoid dressing up his text in flowery rhetoric, and the prose comes across as refreshingly direct and honest. The book manages to summarize the key points in an easily-digested manner, yet at the same time avoids the mistake of trivializing or distorting the physics. I have no hesitation in recommending the book highly'. The Observatory
Book Description
This monograph provides an accessible introduction to the theory, and the large-scale simulation methods currently used in radiation hydrodynamics, the study of the dynamics of matter interacting with radiation, when the radiation is strong enough to have a profound effect on the matter. Radiation hydrodynamics applies to normal stars, exploding stars or stars with violent winds, active galaxies, and on Earth wherever matter is very hot. The volume is a valuable text for research scientists and graduate students in physics and astrophysics.
