Summary of the Equations of Fluid Dynamics Reference: Fluid Mechanics, L.D. Landau & E.M. Lifshitz 1 Introduction Emission processes give us diagnostics with which to estimate important parameters, such as the density, and magnetic field, of an astrophysical plasma. Fluid dynamics provides us with the capability of understanding the transport of mass, momentum and energy. Normally one spends more than a lecture on Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics since this relates to many areas of astrophysics. In following lectures we are going to consider one principal application of astrophysical fluid dynamics – accretion discs. Note also that magnetic fields ...
