  • More about Self-Exciting Fluid Dynamos

This book provides an introduction to magnetohydrodynamics, exploring the origins and evolution of magnetic fields in planets, stars, and galaxies. It covers laminar dynamo theory, mean-field electrodynamics, and topological constraints, and is aimed at graduate-level students and researchers in mathematics, physics, Earth sciences, and astrophysics.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 536 pages
Publication date: 25 April 2019
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Exploring the intricate origins and evolution of magnetic fields across planets, stars, and galaxies, this comprehensive book offers a foundational introduction to magnetohydrodynamics. It surveys a wealth of observational data, with a special emphasis on geomagnetism and solar magnetism. Additionally, the authors delve into pioneering laboratory experiments aimed at replicating specific aspects of fluid dynamo action. They provide a thorough treatment of laminar dynamo theory, as well as mean-field electrodynamics that incorporates the effects of random waves and turbulence. Both dynamo theory and its counterpart, the theory of magnetic relaxation, are covered in depth. The book also explores topological constraints associated with the conservation of magnetic helicity, addressing major challenges in areas such as fast-dynamo theory, accretion-disc dynamo theory, and the theory of magnetostrophic turbulence. With its targeted audience of graduate-level students in mathematics, physics, Earth sciences, and astrophysics, this book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers at all stages of their careers.
