Hydrodynamics codes are used to study nearly every astrophysical phenomena observed. Although coupling radiation and hydrodynamics is much less common, radiation hydrodynamics codes are being used in a growing number of astrophysics problems from energetic out flows of compact remnants such as core-collapse supernovae and active galactic nuclei to the formation of stars and planets to cosmological simulations of the first stars. In this paper, we review the current “state-of-the-art” radiation hydrodynamics techniques used in astrophysics.
