Hydrodynamics of emission line clouds in active galaxies

In this thesis we examine the evolution of emission line clouds via hydrodynamic modelling using a Godunov-type code which incorporates a simple radiative heating- cooling function. The results of this are used as the input to a photoionisation calculation from which we obtain emission line ratios a...
