Details
"Astrophysical Plasmas and Fluids" by Vinod Krishan is a mathematics book and learning resource focused on Deep Sky & Solar System. Best for teachers, students, and readers looking for stronger mathematical understanding.
This textbook for a one semester graduate course introduces the phenomenal diversity of dominant roles that plasmas and fluids play in the near and far reaches of the universe. Krishan (Indian Institute for Astrophysics) uses the Liouville equation to derive the kinetic, the two-fluid, and the single-fluid descriptions of a plasma and a fluid, then demonstrates the use of these descriptions for specific situations. Fluid and plasma configurations and their radiative signatures figure prominently. Problems are designed to give a feel for the quantitative properties of celestial objects.
