Fluid Techniques and Evolution of Anisotropy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Fluid dynamical techniques to model the dynamical evolution of star clusters, and their successors, gaseous models using an equation of heat conductivity to model relaxation effects, including anisotropy, are presented. The historical merits of such models are reviewed as well as the current status of their credibility, based on quantitative comparisons with other methods, like orbit-averaged Fokker-Planck solutions and direct N-body simulations.
