Exploring the origins and evolution of magnetic fields in planets,
stars and galaxies, this book gives a basic introduction to
magnetohydrodynamics and surveys the observational data, with
particular focus on geomagnetism and solar magnetism. Pioneering
laboratory experiments that seek to replicate particular aspects of
fluid dynamo action are also described. The authors provide a
complete treatment of laminar dynamo theory, and of the 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. Topological constraints
associated with conservation of magnetic helicity are thoroughly
explored and major challenges are addressed in areas such as
fast-dynamo theory, accretion-disc dynamo theory and the theory of
magnetostrophic turbulence. The book is aimed at graduate-level
students in mathematics, physics, Earth sciences and astrophysics,
and will be a valuable resource for researchers at all levels.
