PHYS 4130 - Fluid Dynamics with Astrophysical Applications

3 Credit Hours

Description
Same as ASTR 4130. An introduction to fluid dynamics including viscosity, diffusion, vorticity, turbulence, convection, and instabilities. Applications to chemically reactive flows, boundary layers, relativistic flows, particle-fluid interactions, and shocks and astrophysical settings such as stellar oscillations and galactic dynamics using numerical methods and computational frameworks. Students should have basic familiarity with computational methods.
