Abstract for talk by Rainer Spurzem, Kiel

   Title: Fluid techniques and evolution of anisotropy

   The development of fluid-dynamical techniques to model the
 evolution of star clusters dominated by two-body relaxation
 from the early models of Larson up to the present mature technique
 including anisotropy and fully consistent collisional terms is presented.
 Quantitative comparisons of the results for single- and two-mass
 clusters in pre- and post-collapse (including three-body binaries)
 with direct collisional N-body simulations and their relevance
 for the development of anisotropy in star clusters is discussed.
 A status report is given on selected topics of current 
 developments, which include stochastic binary formation
 and evolution, stellar evolution (mass loss), central massive
 star-accreting black holes in galactic nuclei and extensions to
 axisymmetric rotating models.
