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

Description: Magneto-Fluid Dynamics by Paul Lorrain, Francois Lorrain, Stephane Houle Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) concerns the interaction between magnetic fields and conducting fluids. This book is no more than a brief introduction to MFD because this vast subject is closely related to many others, namely Astrophysics, Elec trodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Geophysics, Oceanography, Plasma Physics, Thermonuclear Fusion, etc. Publisher Description 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 Earths core. It seems that the only applications of MFD to water are the induction of electric currents in the oceans by the Earths magnetic field, and ship propulsion. But even MFD is not quite appropriate because that term also includes solid conductors that move in magnetic fields. This book is meant for graduate and upper-division undergraduate stu dents in Physics, Geophysics, and Astrophysics, as well as for practicing sci entists in these fields. This book is no more than a brief introduction to MFD because this vast subject is closely related to many others, namely Astrophysics, Elec trodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Geophysics, Oceanography, Plasma Physics, Thermonuclear Fusion, etc. We sketch the fundamentals, and provide many Examples, as well as Case Studies related to natural phenomena. MFD sorely needs a rethink: it must of course be totally compatible with Physics. On the contrary, it is the custom to discuss the shapes of imaginary magnetic field lines, without ever referring to the required electric currents. Author Biography Paul Lorrain is the main author of three books: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, third edition 1988, Electromagnetism, Principles and Applications, second edition, 1990, and Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Phenomena, first edition 2000, all published by Freeman, New York. He is also the main author of 22 papers published in the last 22 years in major physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics journals. He has worked in universities and research institutes in several countries. He is presently Visiting Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Francois Lorrain is a co-author of the first and third of the above three books. He has also published a book, Reseaux sociaux et classifications sociales; essai sur lalgebre et la geometrie des structures sociales, Hermann, Paris, 1975. In relation to Magneto-Fluid-Dynamics, he has recently published an article entitled "Estimating the order of magnitude of derivatives in physics by means of characteristic lengths and times" in the American Journal of Physics, 72 (5), May 2004, pp. 683-690. Presently he teaches in the Departement de mathematiques et dinformatique, College Jean-de-Brebeuf, Montreal (QC), Canada.
