Fluid Dynamics Notes

This page contains my notes from ASTRON C202: Fluid Dynamics at UC Berkeley, compiled during the Fall 2025 semester. The notes cover a range of topics in fluid dynamics, including fundamental principles, equations of motion, and applications in astrophysics. These should not be taken as authoritative or complete, but rather as a resource for myself and others interested in the subject. The notes cover a range of topics including:

  • Basics of fluid dynamics
  • Equations of motion
  • Turbulence and instabilities
  • Applications in astrophysics
  • Numerical methods in fluid dynamics

The notes are available as a PDF which can be viewed below or downloaded directly.
