Description |
1 online resource (x, 206 pages) : illustrations |
Contents |
The basic fluid equations -- Compressible media -- Spherically symmetric flows -- Stellar models and stellar oscillations -- Stellar oscillations : waves in stratified media -- Damping and excitation of stellar oscillations -- Magnetic instability in a static atmosphere -- Thermal instabilities -- Gravitational instability -- Linear shear flows -- Rotating flows -- Circular shear flow -- Modes in rotating stars -- Cylindrical shear flow : non-axisymmetric instability |
Summary |
This graduate textbook provides a basic understanding of the fluid dynamical processes relevant to astrophysics. Topics covered include wave propagation, shocks, spherical flows, stellar oscillations, the instabilities caused by effects such as magnetic fields, thermal driving, gravity, shear flows and more |
