Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Close Binary Systems
Frederic A. Rasio
Equilibrium fluid configurations for close binary systems can become {\em globally unstable\/}. Instabilities arise from the strong tidal interaction between the two components, wh…

SPH Calculations of Collisions between Main-Sequence Stars
Frederic A. Rasio
The hydrodynamics of collisions and mergers of main-sequence stars is discussed in the light of recent 3-D calculations using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Theo…

Hydrodynamics of Stellar Mergers and the Formation of Blue Stragglers
Frederic A. Rasio
The hydrodynamics of stellar collisions and mergers is discussed in the context of blue straggler formation. Emphasis is placed on the very important question of hydrodynamic mixin…
