My goal isn't to inundate you with too many options. However, if there's a topic that I'm not explaining in a way that you understand, it's likely that at least one of these other sources will...
Textbooks
- The Physics of Fluids and Plasmas: An Introduction for Astrophysicists, by Choudhuri, 2012. The usual primary textbook for past offerings of this course. [online from CU domains]
- Theoretical Fluid Mechanics, by Fitzpatrick, 2017. Mostly covers terrestrial fluids, but very complete in terms of math. [book is online, along with HTML lecture notes]
- The Physics of Astrophysics, Volume II: Gas Dynamics, by Frank Shu, 1992. Classic for conveying "physical intuition" about many different astrophysical systems.
- Astrophysical Flows, by Pringle and King, 2007. Similar topic coverage as Shu, but contains some interesting additional material, too. [online from CU domains]
- Fluid Mechanics, by Landau and Lifshitz, 1959. The bane of grad students for almost a century, but often providing the most succinct descriptions and derivations. [online PDF]
- Astrophysical Hydrodynamics: An Introduction, by Steve Shore, 2007. Another book for astrophysicists that I think is often comparable to Shu for conveying physical intuition. [online from CU domains]
- Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, by Munson, Young, Okiishi, Huebsch, Rothmayer, et al. (many editions). Huge brick of a textbook that's often used in engineering fluids courses. Covers some topics very well, but not many of our more astro/planetary applications. [7th edition here]
- An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, by Batchelor, 1967. Another classic, passed down through the generations (like trauma?). Similar to Landau and Lifshitz, but I must admit it's more approachable. [online from CU domains]
- Foundations of Radiation Hydrodynamics, by Mihalas and Mihalas, 1984. A work of art and an arcane grimoire. Fantastic as a reference, but it probably shouldn't be your first exposure to any of the topics contained.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Open Source Approach, by Vermeire, Pereira, and Karbasian, 2020. A good place to start for numerical methods as applied to fluids. [online book, and also a github site]
Other Online Material
- Lecture notes on Astrophysical Hydrodynamics from Rien van de Weygaert [online]
- Lecture notes on Astrophysical Fluids from Andrew Cumming [online]
- Lecture notes on Astrophysical Hydrodynamics from Yosuke Mizuno [online]
- Computational physicist Philip Mocz has assembled an excellent set of recreational coding exercises involving fluid dynamics. Another place to go for his coding tools is his github page.
- Previous ASTR-5400 instructor Ben Brown has archived a number of fluid dynamics whiteboard derivations on his YouTube channel.
- Lastly, how about a 428-page PDF containing Lecture Notes on Intermediate Fluid Mechanics, from Joseph Powers.
