HIGH-ENERGY-DENSITY PHYSICS - R PAUL DRAKE GEBU...

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.
