Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the basic description of dynamic systems in which radiation transport and hydrodynamics both may matter. It first presents the fundamental equations of radiation hydrodynamics and some related thermodynamic considerations. The next topic is radiation and fluctuations, including acoustic waves with radiation in systems of various optical depth and the radiative thermal cooling instability. It then discusses radiation diffusion waves, notably including Marshak waves
