Introduction to modern magnetohydrodynamics / Sébastien Galtier, Université Paris--Saclay.

Call Number	538/.6
Author	Galtier, Sébastien, author.
Title	Introduction to modern magnetohydrodynamics / Sébastien Galtier, Université Paris--Saclay.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xv, 268 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 27 Oct 2016).
Contents	Magnetohydrodynamics -- Conservation laws -- Magnetohydrodynamic waves -- Dynamo -- Discontinuities and shocks -- Magnetic reconnection -- Static equilibrium -- Linear perturbation theory -- Study of MHD instabilities -- Hydrodynamic turbulence -- MHD turbulence -- Advanced MHD turbulence.
Summary	Ninety-nine percent of ordinary matter in the Universe is in the form of ionized fluids, or plasmas. The study of the magnetic properties of such electrically conducting fluids, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), has become a central theory in astrophysics, as well as in areas such as engineering and geophysics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to MHD and its recent applications, in nature and in laboratory plasmas; from the machinery of the Sun and galaxies, to the cooling of nuclear reactors and the geodynamo. It exposes advanced undergraduate and graduate students to both classical and modern concepts, making them aware of current research and the ever-widening scope of MHD. Rigorous derivations within the text, supplemented by over 100 illustrations and followed by exercises and worked solutions at the end of each chapter, provide an engaging and practical introduction to the subject and an accessible route into this wide-ranging field.
