This book leads directly to the most modern numerical techniques
for compressible fluid flow, with special consideration given to
astrophysical applications. Emphasis is put on high-resolution
shock-capturing finite-volume schemes based on Riemann solvers. The
applications of such schemes, in particular the PPM method, are
given and include large-scale simulations of supernova explosions
by core collapse and thermonuclear burning and astrophysical jets.
Parts two and three treat radiation hydrodynamics. The power of
adaptive (moving) grids is demonstrated with a number of
stellar-physical simulations showing very crispy shock-front
structures.
