1. Course Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrodynamics is a successful framework to describe the dynamics of matter in the universe on all scales. This course will provide an introduction to the mathematical and physical properties of hydrodynamics and its extension to magnetized fluids, i.e. magnetohydrodynamics in astrophysics. Starting from an overview of fluids and plasmas in astrophysics, the equations of hydrodynamics will be derived and their most important properties will be discussed. The course will also discuss the nonlinear nature of the hydrodynamics equations and the occurrence of nonlinear waves such as shocks. Then we will deal with neutrally charged and magnetized plasmas and discuss the basic features of ideal magnetohydrodynamics and the associated nonlinear waves. In the part of the lecture, I will provide the astrophysical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None required. Lecture notes will be posted on my website before the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
