Principles of Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics

An advanced textbook on AFD introducing astrophysics students to the necessary fluid dynamics, first published in 2007.

Fluid dynamical forces drive most of the fundamental processes in the Universe and so play a crucial role in our understanding of astrophysics. This comprehensi
