Theory of hydromagnetic stability

Creators

Description

This much-needed contribution to the field of plasma physics analyzes the effects of linear and non-linear disturbances on the magnetohydrodynamic stability of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. The author describes in simple physical terms the general features, occurrences and effects of hydromagnetic instabilities and uses formal mathematics to develop the theories from basic equations
