Magneto-Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Case Studies of Natural Phenomena

by Paul Lorrain, François Lorrain, Stéphane Houle

Book Overview

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...
