Course description:
The elements of gas dynamics: basic
equations, Lagrangian coordinates, sound waves, characteristics, Riemann
invariants, rarefaction and compression waves. Shock waves: discontinuities,
basic equations, Hugoniot curves, ideal gases, entropy-law, weak shock
waves. Self-similar problems in gasdynamics: Buckingham theory, problems,
e.g. explosions. Heat conductivity and viscosity: their effect on shock
fronts, nonlinear heat conduction, thermal waves. Thermal radiation and
radiation transport: heat exchange of a medium, radiative transfer equation.
Thermodynamic properties of gases at high temperatures: specific heats,
ionization and excitation, effects on Hugoniot-curves. Analytical and computer
modelling of laser-plasma interactions.
