This book offers an overview of the fundamental dynamical
processes, which are necessary to understand astrophysical
phenomena, from the viewpoint of hydrodynamics,
magnetohydrodynamics, and radiation hydrodynamics. The book
consists of three parts: The first discusses the fundamentals of
hydrodynamics necessary to understand the dynamics of astrophysical
objects such as stars, interstellar gases and accretion disks. The
second part reviews the interactions between gases and magnetic
fields on fluid motions - the magnetohydrodynamics - highlighting
the important role of magnetic fields in dynamical phenomena under
astrophysical environments. The third part focuses on radiation
hydrodynamics, introducing the hydrodynamic phenomena characterized
by the coupling of radiation and gas motions and further on
relativistic radiation hydrodynamics. Intended as a pedagogical
introduction for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, it
also provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of
astrophysical fluid dynamics, making it an effective resource not
only for graduate courses, but also for beginners wanting to learn
about hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and radiation
hydrodynamics in astrophysics independently.
