Historical Evolution and Trends
Redaktion: Molokov, Sergei S.; Moffatt, H. Keith; Moreau, R.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book revises the evolution of ideas in various branches of magnetohydrodynamics (astrophysics, earth and solar dynamos, pinch, MHD turbulence and liquid metals) and reviews current trends and challenges. Uniquely, it contains the review articles on the development of the subject by pioneers in the field as well as leading experts, not just in one, but in various branches of magnetohydrodynamics, such as liquid metals, astrophysics, dynamo and pinch.
