dc.descriptionI compare gas-dynamical and stellar-dynamical models of collisions. These two models have distinctly different physics; for example, shocks introduce irreversibility in gas systems, while stellar systems evolve in a completely reversible fashion. Nonetheless, both models yield broadly similar results, suggesting that analogies between gas and stellar dynamics have some heuristic validity even applied to collisions.
