Fluid dynamical forces drive most of the fundamental processes in
the Universe and so play a crucial role in our understanding of
astrophysics. 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. 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. The textbook has been developed for use by
final-year undergraduate and starting graduate students of
astrophysics, and contains over fifty exercises. It is based on the
authors' many years of teaching their astrophysical fluid dynamics
course at the University of Cambridge.
