Federrath - Teaching
This course provides students with the skills necessary to write computer programs for the construction of models of astronomical processes, for the analysis of data and for multi-dimensional simulations.
2nd semester 2023, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 13:00-15:00, Duffield Lecture Theatre and Online (Zoom)
(previously taught 2nd semester 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021)
This course teaches the basics of hydrodynamics with particular focus on astrophysical applications. It includes analytic derivation of the hydrodynamical equations, waves, shocks, accretion/winds, magnetohydrodynamics, and turbulence. The course also provides students with the skills necessary to solve hydrodynamical problems analytically, and write computer programs for finding numerical solutions of the hydro equations in multi-dimensional simulations.
2nd semester 2024, TBD
