Abstract from DBPedia
    Astrophysical fluid dynamics is a branch of modern astronomy which deals with the motion of fluids in outer space using fluid mechanics, such as those that make up the Sun and other stars. The subject covers the fundamentals of fluid mechanics using various equations, such as continuity equations, the Navier–Stokes equations, and Euler's equations of collisional fluids. Some of the applications of astrophysical fluid dynamics include dynamics of stellar systems, accretion disks, astrophysical jets, Newtonian fluids, and the fluid dynamics of galaxies.
