wave experiments are collecting an unprecedented volume of precise data.
Insights from these data are in turn accelerating advances toward
accurate and efficient fluid dynamical models of stellar and planetary
systems: seismic signatures in Saturn’s rings are changing our picture
of the deep interiors of giant planets. Measurements of tides in Jupiter
and Saturn tell us about the structure and dynamics of rapidly rotating
gaseous bodies. Outside of our solar system, the interactions of
exoplanets and stars both with each other and with their environments
leave imprints in astronomical survey data. In this talk, I will
describe research focused on developing improved, multidimensional
models for planets and stars that rise to the challenge and opportunity
presented by modern astronomical observations.
