摘要

The 1990 program in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) had as its special topic Stellar Fluid Dynamics. Introductory lectures paved the way for more specialized seminars on solar oscillations, neutron stars, stellar winds, solar convection, and flows with strong magnetic fields. The lectures ranged far beyond the special topic of the summer, with GFD filling its traditional role as a clearing house for information between the various fields that share an interest in rotating, differentially-heated flows. Relativistic fluctuation-dissipation theorems, radiative, hydrodynamics and galaxy formation, Solar acoustic oscillations, Convection and chaos, Very high resolution solar X ray imaging, Coherent structures and statistical theory of turbulence, Dynamics of localized structures with Galilean invariance, Polytropes and their perturbations, Hydromagnetic instability due to elliptical flow, Vortices in tight embrace, Catastrophe structure of thermohaline convection, simulations of solar convection and Fluid mechanics and melting. Fellows Project Reports include: Structure and stability of rapidly rotating polytropes, Nonlinear evolution of a perturbed axisymmetric eddy, Rise and fall of buoyant plumes, Transport of a chemical in stellar radiative zones, Magnetic flux tubes and convection, Diffusing in Poiseuille flow and Classification of similarity solutions of the two-dimensional convection equations.
