Most matter in the Universe, from the deep interior of planets to the core of stars, is at high temperature or high pressure compared to the matter of our ordinary experience. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the basic physical theory on matter at such extreme conditions and the mathematical modeling techniques involved in numerical simulations of its properties and behavior. Focusing on computational modeling, the book discusses topics such as the basic properties of dense plasmas; ionization physics; the physical mechanisms by which laser light is absorbed in matter; radiation transport in matter; the basics of hydrodynamics and shock-wave formation and propagation; and numerical simulation of radiation-hydrodynamics phenomenology. End-of-chapter exercises allow the reader to test their understanding of the material and introduce additional physics, making this an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students in this broad and interdisciplinary area of physics.

This advanced textbook provides an exhaustive review of topics of immense importance to the fundamental understanding of physics of materials at high pressures. The book presents the current status of experimental and theoretical techniques used to understand the behaviour of materials under high compression. Various topics covered in this book are high pressure studies of materials, equation of state of materials, phase transitions under high pressures, behaviour of hydrogen and hydrides under pressure, and hydrogen bond in solids under high pressure. This book is highly useful reference for the scientists working in the field of condensed matter in general and its behaviour under static and dynamic compression, in particular.

One of the major achievements in computational fluid dynamics has been the development of numerical methods for simulating compressible flows. These methods combine higher-order accuracy in smooth regions, with sharp, oscillation-free representation of embedded shocks, and are now known as "high-resolution schemes". This volume collects in one place many of the most significant papers in the development of high-resolution schemes as occurred at ICASE, together with introductions from the editors, written from the modern vantage point. Chapter I covers the early development of approximate Riemann solvers in the context of monotonic schemes. Chapter II continues with papers dealing with second-order total-variation-diminishing (TVD) schemes. Chapter III presents papers which show the historical development of total-variation-bounded (TVB) schemes at ICASE. Finally, Chapter IV collects papers on inherently multidimensional schemes, which preserve the attractive features of their one-dimensional predecessors.
