Abstract.
The goal of my lecture is to present the introduction into the hydrodynamical version of the Grad-Shafranov equation. Although not so well-known as the full MHD one, it allows us to clarify the nontrivial structure of the Grad-Shafranov approach as well as to discuss the simplest version of the 3 + 1-split language - the most convenient one for the description of the ideal flows in the vicinity of a rotating black hole.
