Using the 3+1 formalism of general relativity the equations governing the dynamics of spherically symmetric spacetimes with arbitrary sources are obtained. The case of a perfect fluid accompanied by a flow of interacting massless or massive particles (e.g., neutrinos) which are described in terms of relativistic transport theory is then specialized. I focus on three types of gauges: (1) the isotropic-maximal gauge, (2) radial-polar gauge, and (3) isotropic-polar gauge.
