Doubt regarding solving an integration for radial flow of matter around a star in Newtonian gravity
The spherically symmetric flow of matter around a star in Newtonian gravity is governed by the equation
$$v\frac{dv}{dr}+\frac{1}{P+\rho}\frac{dp}{dr}+\frac{1}{r^2}=0$$
The equation of state is chosen ...
