Lectures given at the Hanno Rund Workshop on Relativity and Thermodynamics, University of Natal, June 1996. 39 pages Latex

Scientific paper

I review the causal relativistic thermodynamics developed by Israel and
Stewart, and discuss some applications in cosmology and astrophysics. The
lectures begin with an overview of relativistic fluid dynamics (in a covariant
formalism) and equilibrium thermodynamics. Causal bulk viscosity in cosmology
is considered in detail, including some new results.
