Abstract
The principal theme of this eleventh Summer Program has been
Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics. As in the past, we have explored the
region of overlap in technique and theory of our summer theme and
other aspects of Fluid Dynamics. An interesting example of this
overlap is the application of the physics of salt-finger instability,
a significant oceanographic process, to instabilities due to differential
rotation in the sun, a critical problem in stellar evolution.
