Although the origin of Earth's and other celestial bodies' magnetic fields remains unknown, we do know that the motion of electrically conducting fluids generates and maintains these fields, forming the basis of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and, to a larger extent, dynamo theory. Answering the need for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary introduction to this area, Mathematical Aspects of Natural Dynamos provides a foundation in dynamo theory before moving on to modeling aspects of natural dynamos. Bringing together eminent international contributors, the book first introduces governing equations, outlines the kinematic dynamo theory, covers nonlinear effects, including amplitude saturation and polarity reversals, and discusses fluid dynamics. After establishing this base, the book describes the Earth's magnetic field and the current understanding of its characteristics. Subsequent chapters examine other planets in our solar system and the magnetic field of stars, including the sun. The book also addresses dynamo action on the large scale of galaxies, presents modeling experiments of natural dynamos, and speculates about future research directions. After reading this well-illustrated, thorough, and unified exploration, you will be well prepared to embark on your own journey through this fascinating area of research.

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.
