DESCRIPTION:Einstein’s curved spacetime theory for gravity rules supreme
  in the cosmos. Over the last century it has passed a variety of tests –
  all with flying colours. Still\, our understanding remains incomplete. As
  the precision of our observations improve\, we need a more detailed under
 standing on the theory side. Many of today’s questions – ranging from 
 the violent dynamics of merging neutron stars emitting gravitational waves
  to the dark energy that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerat
 e - demand a realistic description of matter. This inevitably brings us to
  consider fluid dynamics in the context of relativity. In this talk I will
  discuss the modern approach to relativistic fluid flows – drawing on ex
 amples from astrophysics and numerical simulations\, and highlighting chal
 lenges that still need to be resolved.
