Scope of the meeting
The purpose of the 3-day symposium is to highlight the role of radiation
in fluid dynamical activity throughout astrophysics. A wide range of
topics will be considered including thermal effects in the solar atmosphere
and sunspots, radiation pressure driven dynamics such as photon bubbles
in hot stars and accretion discs and reionization of the Universe by the
first stars. The general topic of radiation hydrodynamics is particularly
timely in view of the 60th anniversary of Åke Nordlund, who pioneered the
interaction of radiation transport with three-dimensional hydrodynamics
in the mid 1970s. Radiation hydrodynamics simulations have now reached
a high degree of realism and are routinely performed in solar and stellar
physics. Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic effects that are due to radiation
pressure are beginning to find broad appreciation not only in the field
of stellar physics, but also accretion discs. Radiation hydrodynamics is
to an increasing extent being incorporated into cosmological simulations
in order to understand radiative feedback in structure formation. Given
such great diversity of applications, the cross-disciplinary exchange
of idea is therefore particularly important.
