Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics: Proceedings of the Les Houches Summer School, Course XLVII, 29 June-31 July, 1987 - J. P. Zahn - Hardcover

This book aims to lay the basis of astrophysical fluid dynamics and the topics treated cover various aspects of this discipline. These include: the essential properties of turbulence; dynamical systems; the effects of magnetic fields significant in the sun, including magnetohydrodynamics in general and dynamo theories; the use of numerical simulation to explore the behavior of thermal convection in a highly stratified medium; stellar pulsations. The resulting book is intended as both a manual for the graduate student as well as for the seasoned scientist.Zahn, J.
