Description for Magneto-fluid Dynamics
Hardback. Provides an understanding of the physics at work in sunspots and solar coronal loops, and offers a approach to Magneto-Fluid-Dynamics (or Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics). This title stresses the use of electric currents in Magneto-Fluid-Dynamics. Series: Astronomy and Astrophysics Library. Num Pages: 349 pages, 70 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 701.
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) concerns the interaction between magnetic fields and conducting fluids. We are concerned here with macroscopic inter actions and, when the conducting fluid is a plasma, time scales are very much longer than the plasma period. Plasma periods vary widely, but are short, say 10~^^ second. We prefer the term Magneto-F/i^Z(i-Dynamics (MFD) because the disci pline concerns mostly plasmas, various liquid conductors, and the liquid part of the Earth's core. It seems that the only applications of MFD to water are the induction of electric currents in the oceans by the Earth's magnetic field, and ship propulsion. But even ... Read more

Reviews for Magneto-fluid Dynamics
From the reviews: “This text is an interesting, and clearly structured introduction to dynamo theory inspired from the study of natural dynamos, particularly within the solar environment. It provides an enticing flavour of the modelling of a wide variety of electromagnetic phenomena. … The text is intended primarily for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in physics, geophysics and astrophysics. … ...
