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

by Paul Lorrain, François Lorrain, Stéphane Houle

Book Overview

This book provides an understanding of the physics at work in sunspots and solar coronal loops, and offers a new approach to Magneto-Fluid-Dynamics (or Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics).The book stresses the use of electric currents in Magneto-Fluid-Dynamics. As a rule, authors discuss magnetic field lines without referring to the required electric currents. It also stresses the importance of electric space charges inside conductors that move in magnetic...
