Course abstract
The physics of astrofluids is the subject of active research during past seventy years. Starting from the solar wind and magnetospheric plasmas, the scope of astrophysical fluids expands upto large interstellar clouds. A thorough understanding of astrophysical fluid dydnamics is essential to understand fascinating phenomena like the formation of sunspots, solar flares, accretion disks, stellar winds, explosion of supernovae, the formation of stars etc. This course is structured to offer the students a systematic analytical approach towards various astrophysical concepts along with a research oriented outlook.

Prof. Supratik Banerjee
Dr. Supratik Banerjee is Assistant Professor (grade I) at the department of Physics of IIT Kanpur since February 2018. After completing B. Sc. (Hons. In Physics) from Presidency College, Kolkata and securing 1st class 3rd rank in the University of Calcutta, he joined the prestigious Diplome d Ingenieur program of Ecole Polytechnique, France. He completed his two Masters (in theoretical physics and in plasma physics) in 2011. In 2014, he completed his thesis from Universite Paris-Sud, France on compressible turbulence in space and astrophysical plasmas and bagged the Best thesis award of his school. Since 2011, he has been engaged in teaching which is already widely accepted and appreciated by the students in France, Germany and India.More info
