Chandrasekhar worked on a wide variety of astrophysical problems in his lifetime, contributing to the contemporary understanding of stellar structure, hydromagnetic stability, equilibrium and the stability of ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium, general relativity, mathematical theory of black holes and theory of colliding gravitational waves.

A very detailed mathematical treatment of this from the point of view of the Navier Stokes equations and the equations of thermodynamics can be found in the first third of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar's Hydrodynamic and Hydromagnetic Stability originally published in 1961 by Oxford, and republished by Dover in 1981.

*in he changed " hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability " to " hydrodynamics and hydromagnetic stability ", but that changes the meaning : the scientist didn't work on " hydrodynamics "-he worked specifically on " hydrodynamic stability ", as stated in the original version of the text.
