The material in this book is based on lecture notes of a course on
astrophysical fluid dynamics which has been given for several years to
third-year students at the University of Cambridge. There are several
excellent books which cover fluid dynamics from a terrestrial standpoint,
but very few provide a full introduction to the concepts and
methods used to deal with the highly compressible flows which arise
in astrophysical contexts. Our aim with this book is to provide just
such an introduction, and we hope that it will also serve as a reference
volume for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
Several people have provided input at various stages of the preparation
of this book. In particular we thank Jim Pringle, Donald Lynden-
Bell and Giuseppe Lodato for their help. We are also grateful to the
students who have taken the course at Cambridge for correcting typographical
errors in the lecture notes, drawing our attention to parts
where the description was less clear than it should have been, and
helping us to develop the exercises.
