Although sometimes ignored, fluid dynamical processes play a central role in virtually all areas of astrophysics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo previous knowledge of fluid dynamics is assumed. After establishing the basic equations of fluid dynamics and the physics relevant to an astrophysical application, a variety of topics in the field are addressed. There is also a chapter introducing the reader to numerical methods. Appendices list useful physical constants and astronomical quantities, and provide handy reference material on Cartesian tensors, vector calculus in polar coordinates, self-adjoint eigenvalue problems and JWKB theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48225800552599,"sku":"9781860946332","price":5707.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781860946332.webp?v=1788768548","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-astrophysical-fluid-dynamics-9781860946332","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
