Description for Foundations of High-Energy-Density Physics: Physical Processes of Matter at Extreme Conditions
hardcover. Beginning with basic concepts, this book develops a detailed explanation of the physics of hydrodynamics and energy transport in plasma. Num Pages: 912 pages, 186 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PHN; PHP. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 247 x 174. .
High-energy-density physics explores the dynamics of matter at extreme conditions. This encompasses temperatures and densities far greater than we experience on Earth. It applies to normal stars, exploding stars, active galaxies, and planetary interiors. High-energy-density matter is found on Earth in the explosion of nuclear weapons and in laboratories with high-powered lasers or pulsed-power machines. The physics explored in this book is the basis for large-scale simulation codes needed to interpret experimental results whether from astrophysical observations or laboratory-scale experiments. The key elements of high-energy-density physics covered are gas dynamics, ionization, thermal energy transport, and radiation transfer, intense electromagnetic waves, ... Read more

About Jon Larsen
Jon Larsen is the founder and President of Cascade Applied Science, Inc., the company that developed a suite of simulation codes for the high-energy-density physics (HEDP) research community. He is an expert in radiation hydrodynamic simulations and is particularly well known for a code known as HYADES, which is widely used by individuals and by the National Laboratories.
