AST-0307433NarayanThis research covers a broad theoretical program of studying hydrodynamic and/or magnetohydrodynamic flows in astrophysics. Particular projects cover radiatively inefficient flows (such as advection- or convection-dominated accretion), the role of conduction in setting up and maintaining thermal equilibrium of the hot gas in galaxy clusters, computational tools to model interstellar radio scintillation in the transition regime between weak and strong scattering, and instabilities in the formation of giant molecular clouds in spiral galaxies.The principal investigator will actively strive to involve graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the research program, and has a strong record of past success at this sort of mentoring activity. His group has the right atmosphere to nurture young and talented scientists.***

这项研究涵盖了天体物理学中流体动力学和/或磁流体动力学研究的广泛理论计划。特定的项目包括辐射效率低下的流动（如平流或对流主导的吸积），传导在建立和维持星系团中热气体热平衡中的作用，在弱散射和强散射之间过渡状态下模拟星际无线电闪烁的计算工具，以及螺旋星系中巨大分子云形成的不稳定性。首席研究员将积极努力让研究生、本科生和博士后参与到研究项目中来，并且在过去的此类指导活动中有很好的成功记录。他的团队有培养年轻而有才华的科学家的良好氛围
