This textbook provides a modern and accessible introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).
It describes the two main applications of plasma physics, laboratory research on thermo-…

Following on from the companion volume Principles of Magnetohydrodynamics, this
textbook analyzes the applications of plasma physics to thermonuclear fusion and plasma …

The spectrum of ideal magnetohydrodynamics in toroidal systems is shown to concentrate
around three continua where the singular fast, the Alfvén, and the slow modes become …

Obtainable computational efficiency is evaluated when using an Adaptive Mesh Refinement
(AMR) strategy in time accurate simulations governed by sets of conservation laws. For a …

The CASTOR (complex Alfvén spectrum of toroidal plasmas) code computes the entire
spectrum of normal-modes in resistive MHD for general tokamak configurations. The applied …

With ninety per cent of visible matter in the universe existing in the plasma state, an
understanding of magnetohydrodynamics is essential for anyone looking to understand solar and …

We investigate the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability occurring at the interface of a shear-flow
configuration in 2D compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The linear growth and the …

An important subject in nuclear fusion research is the magnetohydrodynamic sta-bility of hot
plasmas contained in a tokamak. For the numerical calculation of the linear stability of ideal …

We discuss steady-state transonic outflows obtained by direct numerical solution of the
hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equations. We make use of the Versatile Advection …

The FINESSE code (finite element solver for stationary equilibria) computes axisymmetric
magnetohydrodynamic equilibria in poloidal elliptic flow regimes for a variety of astrophysical …
