Astrophysical Disks: Collective and Stochastic Phenomena

by Alexei M. Fridman (Editor), Mikhail Ya Marov (Editor)

This book deals with collective and stochastic processes in astrophysical disks involving theory, observations, and the results of modelling. It examines the spiral-vortex structure in galactic and accretion disks, and stochastic and ordered structures in developed turbulence. The book advances the study in this important branch of astrophysics and will benefit professional researchers, lecturers, and graduate students.
