Fundamentals of astrophysical fluid dynamics: hydrodynamics magnetohydro-dynamics and radiation hydrodynamics/ Shoji Kato & Jun Fukue

By: Contributor(s): Series: Astronomy and Astrophysics LibraryPublication details: Singapore: Springer Nature: 2023Description: xxiv, 625 pages, 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789811541766
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 532.05 K19
Contents:
Introduction -- Part I: Hydrodynamical phenomena in astrophysical objects -- Part II: Magnetohydrodynamical phenomena in Astrophysical objects -- Part III: astrophsical radiation hydrodynamics
Summary: This book offers an overview of the fundamental dynamical processes, which are necessary to understand astrophysical phenomena, from the viewpoint of hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and radiation hydrodynamics. It consists of three parts: The first discusses the fundamentals of hydrodynamics necessary to understand the dynamics of astrophysical objects such as stars, interstellar gases and accretion disks. The second part reviews the interactions between gases and magnetic fields on fluid motions – the magnetohydrodynamics – highlighting the important role of magnetic fields in dynamical phenomena under astrophysical environments. The third part focuses on radiation hydrodynamics, introducing the hydrodynamic phenomena characterized by the coupling of radiation and gas motions and further on relativistic radiation hydrodynamics.
