Title Lectures in Magnetohydrodynamics : With an Appendix on Extended MHD Author(s) Schnack, Dalton D Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. Description XV, 323 p. 119 illus : online resource Abstract Note This concise and self-contained primer is based on class-tested notes for an advanced graduate course in MHD. The broad areas chosen for presentation are the derivation and properties of the fundamental equations, equilibrium, waves and instabilities, self-organization, turbulence, and dynamos. The latter topics require the inclusion of the effects of resistivity and nonlinearity. Together, these span the range of MHD issues that have proven to be important for understanding magnetically confined plasmas as well as in some space and astrophysical applications. The combined length and style of the thirty-eight lectures are appropriate for complete presentation in a single semester. An extensive appendix on extended MHD is included as further reading ISBN,Price 9783642006883 Keyword(s) 1. Applied and Technical Physics 2. ATOMS 3.
