Most matter in the Universe, from the deep interior of planets to
the core of stars, is at high temperature or high pressure compared
to the matter of our ordinary experience. This book offers a
comprehensive introduction to the basic physical theory on matter
at such extreme conditions and the mathematical modeling techniques
involved in numerical simulations of its properties and behavior.
Focusing on computational modeling, the book discusses topics such
as the basic properties of dense plasmas; ionization physics; the
physical mechanisms by which laser light is absorbed in matter;
radiation transport in matter; the basics of hydrodynamics and
shock-wave formation and propagation; and numerical simulation of
radiation-hydrodynamics phenomenology. End-of-chapter exercises
allow the reader to test their understanding of the material and
introduce additional physics, making this an invaluable resource
for researchers and graduate students in this broad and
interdisciplinary area of physics.
