Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... this new book by Biskamp presents hydromagnetic turbulence as a very accessible and highly interesting topic both for students and professionals ... an ideal reference both for beginners and experts ... This book should certainly belong to the compulsory literature of any graduate student working in hydromagnetic turbulence.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics
'... recommended to anybody working in the field, including graduate students.' Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
'... I would recommend this book to all those who would like to undertake a serious study of MHD turbulence, be it from a theoretical point of view or because they are interested in applications.' Journal of Plasma Physics
Book Description
After a brief outline of magnetohydrodynamic theory, this introductory book discusses the macroscopic aspects of MHD turbulence, and covers the small-scale scaling properties. Applications are provided for astrophysical and laboratory systems. Magnetic turbulence is the natural state of most astrophysical systems, such as stellar convection zones, stellar winds or accretion discs. It is also found in laboratory devices, most notably in the reversed field pinch.
