Fluid Dynamics and Dynamos in Astrophysics and Geophysics de Andrew M. Soward

Fluid Dynamics and Dynamos in Astrophysics and Geophysics: The Fluid Mechanics of Astrophysics and Geophysics

Editat de Andrew M. Soward, Christopher A. Jones, David W. Hughes, Nigel O. Weiss
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mar 2005
The increasing power of computer resources along with great improvements in observational data in recent years have led to some remarkable and rapid advances in astrophysical fluid dynamics. The subject spans three distinct but overlapping communities whose interests focus on (1) accretion discs and high-energy astrophysics; (2) solar, stellar, and galactic magnetic fields; and (3) the geodynamo, planetary magnetic fields, and associated experiments. This book grew out of a special conference sponsored by the London Mathematical Society with the support of EPSRC that brought together leading researchers in all of these areas to exchange ideas and review the status of the field.

The many interesting problems addressed in this volume concern:

Descriere

The increasing power of computer resources along with great improvements in observational data have led to rapid advances in astrophysical fluid dynamics in recent years. Bringing together geophysicists, astrophysicists, and experimenters, this book reviews the current status of the field and provides balanced coverage of all three of these areas. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), including MHD turbulence, the dynamo problem, and some unique laboratory experiments, receives the particular attention of many of the book's international contributors. The editors illustrate the symbiotic relation between theory and observation throughout the book.
