From the reviews: "The volume primarily addresses the Grad-Shafranov approach to describe axisymmetric stationary flows around astrophysical objects, including ones where General Relativity is important. ... Each chapter has an abstract and an introduction to the kinds of sources to which its equations apply. ... the astrophysics-group ... able to make more use of it than I can." (Viginia Trimble, The Observatory, Vol. 130 (1214), June, 2010)

Accretion flows, winds and jets of compact astrophysical objects and stars are generally described within the framework of hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows.

A didactic approach to understanding accretion flows, winds and jets of Astrophysical Compact Objects Analytical treatment of the hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic problem reveals physical concepts and provides better understanding of numerical simulations Contains detailed derivations of equations, a large number of exercises and references Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
