2.0 out of 5 stars
Summary and description of equations; little else.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: High-Energy-Density Physics: Fundamentals, Inertial Fusion, and Experimental Astrophysics (Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena) (Hardcover)
This book gives a good summary of the equations and models for high-energy density physics. However, you will not get much information on how to write simulation codes and experimental details. This book appears to be the result of the HEDP summer school taught by the author. Not many detailed derivations of equations. Every topic in this book requires at least a whole other book in order to understand.I'm not an astrophysicist, so many of the topics in this book were not very enlightening for me. The info/price ratio for this book is very low. I would recommend Zeldovich and Raizer's book if you want to understand shock wave theory. Atzeni's book on ICF is far superior to this one. |
