DESCRIPTION:
Her research is based on accretion disc theory and star formation (both of which are strongly based on fluid dynamics) and she is the author of around 70 articles in refereed journals, plus a further 50 reviews, proceedings etc. He has also given courses in Relativity to both third-year and fourth-year undergraduates, as well as specialist courses on Gaseous Nebulae at the postgraduate level. . She developed the original course in Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics as part of Part II Astrophysics in 1996 and delivered the course 1996-9. His research relates to quasars, the intergalactic medium and large-scale structure. He lectured the Part II Astrophysics course on Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics 2000-3, and developed the course notes to reflect a revised syllabus to include accretion disks and some MHD concepts. About the Author Cathie Clarke is Reader in Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Cambridge
This comprehensive textbook, first published in 2007, introduces the necessary fluid dynamics to understand a wide range of astronomical phenomena, from stellar structures to supernovae blast waves, to accretion discs. Fluid dynamical forces drive most of the fundamental processes in the Universe and so play a crucial role in our understanding of astrophysics. The authors' approach is to introduce and derive the fundamental equations, supplemented by text that conveys a more intuitive understanding of the subject, and to emphasise the observable phenomena that rely on fluid dynamical processes. It is based on the authors' many years of teaching their
A nice introduction to astrophysical fluid dynamics I picked up this book at the library by chance. Since then I have read the book cover to cover and I found the book to be both concise and readable, while also giving fair coverage of essential topics.This is an introductory text geared towards the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in astrophysics. A good deal of com. "Four Stars" according to David A. Espinoza G.. Good book
