Scaling of Magneto-quantum-radiative Hydrodynamic Equations: From Laser-produced Plasmas to Astrophysics
Abstract
We introduce the equations of magneto-quantum-radiative hydrodynamics. By rewriting them in a dimensionless form, we obtain a set of parameters that describe scale-dependent ratios of characteristic hydrodynamic quantities. We discuss how these dimensionless parameters relate to the scaling between astrophysical observations and laboratory experiments.
