Course Overview

The course on Fluid Dynamics for Astrophysics by Swayam provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of fluid phenomena in the subject of Astrophysics. The programme over the initial few weeks will cover the fundamentals of fluid dynamics with a special emphasis on compressible phenomena. The basic concepts hence learnt by the students will help them to understand the core concepts that pertain to astrophysics in a more comprehensive way. In the Fluid Dynamics for Astrophysics certification module, the students will elaborate cover the topics of- magnetic field, black hole accretion, solar wind power, magnetohydrodynamics and more.

The students after completing the online certification programme will be equipped to pursue a career as a research worker in the subject of astrophysics. Thus, after completing the twelve week programme the students will learn to understand the concepts of dynamos that are used in jets. They will also learn to work with the concepts of classical mechanics.
