Radiation flow through an inhomogeneous medium is critical in a wide range of physics and astronomy applications from transport across cloud layers on the earth to the propagation of supernova blast-waves producing UV and X-ray emission in…

We describe a new type of dynamical model for hot gas in galaxy groups and clusters in which gas moves simultaneously in both radial directions. Circulation flows are consistent with (1) the failure to observe cooling gas in X-ray spectra,…
Advection is believed to be the dominant cooling mechanism in optically thin advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAF's). When outflow is considered, however, the first impression is that advection should be of opposite sign in the inflow…
We consider the nonlinear outcome of gravitational instability in optically thick disks with a realistic cooling function. We use a numerical model that is local, razor-thin, and unmagnetized. External illumination is ignored. Cooling is…

Zero viscosity limits are central to the study of classical shock waves. By identifying the correct physical (Lax admissible) shocks, they are a cornerstone in the design of analytical and numerical schemes. For relativistic fluid flow,…
We carry out a suite of simulations of the evolution of cosmic-ray (CR) driven, radiatively-cooled cold clouds embedded in hot material, as found in galactic outflows. In such interactions, CRs stream towards the cloud at the Alfv\'en…
