Abstract

In this paper, we deal theoretically with expansion, collimation or collapse of radiating fluids and jets, especially. Firstly, we consider a case in which radiation can be neglected in the modeling. Secondly, radiative losses are introduced. Finally, we compare, on the one hand, hydrodynamics self-similar solutions to laboratory jet experiments and, on the other hand, self-similiar solutions with radiation losses to numerical simulations.
