This book aims to lay the basis of astrophysical fluid dynamics and the topics treated cover various aspects of this discipline. These include: the essential properties of turbulence; dynamical systems; the effects of magnetic fields significant in the sun, including magnetohydrodynamics in general and dynamo theories; the use of numerical simulation to explore the behaviour of thermal convection in a highly stratified medium; and stellar pulsations. The resulting book is intended as both a manual for the graduate student as well as for the seasoned scientist.
