Modeling Accretion Disks Around Compact Objects and Young Stars

Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics → Accretion Disk Modeling Project

This graduate-level learning path equips learners with the knowledge to construct and analyze models of accretion disks around compact objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes) and young stellar objects. It covers the fundamental physics of accretion, angular momentum transport, magnetohydrodynamic instabilities, radiation processes, and general relativistic effects, culminating in advanced topics like radiation-pressure-dominated disks and super-Eddington accretion.
