This book is an introduction to terrestrial magnetohydrodynamics. It is a compendium of introductory lectures by experts in the field, focussing on applications in industry and the laboratory. A concise overview of the subject with references to further study.
Turbulence is ubiquitous in science, technology and daily life and
yet, despite years of research, our understanding of its
fundamental nature is still tentative and incomplete. More
generally, the tools required for a deep understanding of strongly
interacting many-body systems remain underdeveloped. Inspired by a
research programme held at the Newton Institute in Cambridge, this
book contains reviews by leading experts that summarize our current
understanding of the nature of turbulence from theoretical,
experimental, observational and computational points of view. The
articles cover a wide range of topics, including the scaling and
organized motion in wall turbulence, small scale structure,
dynamics and statistics of homogeneous turbulence, turbulent
transport and mixing, and effects of rotation, stratification and
magnetohydrodynamics, as well as superfluidity. The book will be
useful to researchers and graduate students interested in the
fundamental nature of turbulence at high Reynolds numbers.
Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems
of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially
understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many
leading scientists for well over a century. In A Voyage Through
Turbulence we are transported through a crucial period of the
history of the subject via biographies of twelve of its great
personalities, starting with Osborne Reynolds and his pioneering
work of the 1880s. This book will provide absorbing reading for
every scientist, mathematician and engineer interested in the
history and culture of turbulence, as background to the intense
challenges that this universal phenomenon still presents.
