Gravitational Torques

Gravitational Torques is a theoretical construct in astrophysical fluid dynamics that represents the net twisting force arising from non-axisymmetric gravitational potential perturbations, distinguishing it from other angular momentum transport mechanisms by its direct coupling between mass distribution asymmetries and orbital angular momentum exchange in rotating systems.
