Description

This lecture covers the dynamics of astrophysical fluids and plasmas, focusing on compressible and incompressible flows, continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations. It delves into basic thermodynamics, internal energy, and shock waves. Perturbation theory, waves, and instabilities like Jeans instability are also discussed.
