Astraios Courses

Astrophysical fluid dynamics  

Description

The aim of the course is to provide the student with the main theoretical tools to study the dynamics of fluids in astrophysical systems such as stars, accretion discs, galaxies and clusters of galaxies. At the end of the course the student will be familiar with the analytic modelling of hydrodynamic-equilibrium configurations of fluids in gravitational potentials, of gas flows and of hydrodynamic instabilities. In addition the student will have some knowledge of the role of magnetic fields in the dynamics of astrophysical fluids.
