This NATO Advanced Research Workshop was devoted to the pre
sentation, evaluation, and critical discussion of numerical methods
in nonrelativistic and relativistic hydrodynamics, radia tive
transfer, and radiation-coupled hydrodynamics. The unifying theme
of the lectures was the successful application of these methods to
challenging problems in astrophysics. The workshop was subdivided
into 3 somewhat independent topics, each with their own subtheme.
Under the heading radiation hydrodynamics were brought together
context, theory, methodology, and application of radia tive
transfer and radiation hydrodynamics in astrophysics. The intimate
coupling between astronomy and radiation physics was underscored by
examples from past and present research. Frame-dependence of both
the equation of transfer (plus moments) and the underlying
radiation quantities was discussed and clarified. Limiting regimes
in radiation-coupled flow were identified and described; the
dynamic diffusion regime received special emphasis. Numerical
methods for continuum and line transfer equations in a given
background were presented. Two examples of methods for computing
dynamically coupled radia tion/matter fields were given. In l-d and
assuming LTE the complete equations of radiation hydrodynamics can
be solved with current computers. Such is not the case in 2- or
3-d, which were identified as target areas for research. The use of
flux-limiters was vigorously discussed in this connection, and
enlivened the meeting.
