Radiation Transfer & Radiation Hydrodynamics

Radiation in Astronomy

• Basic Physical Processes in Astronomical Phenomena:
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Gravity
  • Radiative Processes
• Importance of Radiation in Astronomy
  • Radiative Processes coupled with Fluid Dynamics and Gravity -> Formation of Astonomical Objects
  • Astronomical Observation via Radiation
• Numerical Simulation of Radiative Transfer/Radiation Hydrodynamics
  • Not popular due to huge demand of computational cost
  • Large Parallel Computers can overcome the difficulty
