Magneto-Fluid Dynamics : Fundamentals and Case Studies (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

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.
