Tentative Schedule for November 2011 (suggestion, to be confirmed)

Astrophysical Hydro- and Magnetohydrodynamics in 122:026 at Roslagstullsbacken 17 by Axel Brandenburg

  • Tue 8 Nov, 13-15
    Solar/terrestrial connection, radial structure, equations,
    Atmospheric waves (p and g modes), numerical techniques

  • Thu 10 Nov, 10-12
    Helioseismology, Abel's integral equation

  • Fri 11 Nov, 15-17
    Computer exercises: waves and energy conservation

  • Tue 15 Nov, 13-15
    Going supersonic: either via shocks or via a critical point

  • Tue 15 Nov, 15-17
    Magnetic fields, magnetic support and coronal mass ejections

  • Thu 17 Nov, 10-12
    Thin accretion disc physics: steady & time-dependent

  • Thu 17 Nov, 13-15
    Computer exercises: viscous disc stability

  • Tue 22 Nov, 13-15
    Convection, mixing length, turbulence, first-order smoothing

  • Wed 23 Nov, 10-12
    Dimensional analysis, blast waves, Alfven waves, slow, fast, and MRI

  • Tue 29 Nov, 13-15
    Jets & outflows from accretion discs

  • Thu 1 Dec, 10-12
    Selected aspects of relativistic MHD with applications to the early Universe

  • Thu 1 Dec, 13-15
    Computer exercises: magnetic relaxation, mean-field dynamo models. Alternatively, I could go into black hole electromagnetism. The assessment will be based on reports (written and oral) summarizing the results from computer exercises.
