The raw numbers of high-energy-density physics are amazing: shock
waves at hundreds of km/s (approaching a million km per hour),
temperatures of millions of degrees, and pressures that exceed 100
million atmospheres. This title surveys the production of
high-energy-density conditions, the fundamental plasma and
hydrodynamic models that can describe them and the problem of
scaling from the laboratory to the cosmos. Connections to
astrophysics are discussed throughout. The book is intended to
support coursework in high-energy-density physics, to meet the
needs of new researchers in this field, and also to serve as a
useful reference on the fundamentals. Specifically the book has
been designed to enable academics in physics, astrophysics, applied
physics and engineering departments to provide in a single-course,
an introduction to fluid mechanics and radiative transfer, with
dramatic applications in the field of high-energy-density systems.
This second edition includes pedagogic improvements to the
presentation throughout and additional material on equations of
state, heat waves, and ionization fronts, as well as problem sets
accompanied by solutions.
