The problem of specifying the radiation field in an atmosphere which scatters light in accordance with well-defined physical laws originated in Lord Rayleigh's investigations in 1871 on the illumination and polarization of the sunlit sky. But the fundamental equations goveing Rayleigh's particular problem had to wait seventy-five years for their formulation and solution. However, the subject was given a fresh start under more tractable conditions, when Arthur Schuster formulated in 1905 a problem in Radiative Transfer in an attempt to explain the appearance of absorption and emission lines in stellar spectra, and Karl Schwarzsehikl introduced in .1906 the concept of radiative equilibrium in stellar atmospheres. Since that time the subject of Radiative Transfer has been investigated principally by astrophysicists, though in recent years the subject has attracted the attention of physicists also, since essentially the same problems arise in the theory of the diffusion of neutrons.

Pergamon Press, Oxford, New York, 1973, 298 pp At higher temperatures (say, millions of degrees Kelvin), the energy and momentum densities of the radiation field may become comparable to or even dominate the corresponding fluid quantities. In this case, the radiation field significantly affects the dynamics of the fluid. Hydrodynamics with explicit account of the radiation energy and momentum contributions constitutes the charter of "radiation hy...
