This book was released on 1984 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the presence of magnetic induction and electrical fields several types of discontinuities may exist in an electrically conducting fluid. These phenomena can be described by the laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy; Maxwell's electromagnetic equations, and Ohm's law. Those discontinuities, which can be characterized by the conditions that both the temperature and density change across them are different from zero, are called magneto-hydrodynamic shock waves. This monograph is concerned with the study of these types of discontinuities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies based on the Rankine-Hugoniot relations have classified MHO shock waves as fast, switch-on, intermediate, switch-off, and slow. Any waves found in nature must also: (a) possess steady-state structures and (b) be stable in the presence of small-flow disturbances. In this monograph, Dr. Anderson examines these criteria in relation to plane shocks for which the collision frequency is large compared with cyclotron frequency. It contains a three-dimensional graphic representation of shock end states and presents an exact solution for the shock adiabatic curve in a convenient form. An MIT Press Research Monograph.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seventy years, we have known that Einstein's theory is essentially a theory of propagation of waves for the gravitational field. Confusion enters, however, through the fact that the word wave, in physics, implies sometimes repetition and sometimes not. This confusion is often increased by he use of Fourier transforms, by which a disturbanse which appears to be without repetition is resolved into periodic wave-trains with all frequencies. But, in a general curved space-time, we have nothing corresponding to Fourier transforms. Here, we consider systematically waves corresponding to the propagation of discontinuities of physical quantities describing either fields (essentially electromagnetic fields and gravitational field), or the motion of a fluid, or together, in magnetohydrodynamics, the changes in time of a field and of a fluid. The main equations, for the different studied phenomena, constitute a hyperbolic system and the study of a formal Cauchy problem is possible. We call ordinary waves the case in which the derivative of superior order appearing in the system are discontinuous at the traverse of a hypersurface, the wave front ; we call shock waves the case where the derivatives of an order inferior by one are discontinuous at the traverse of a wave front. XI xii PREFACE From 1950, many well-known scientits (Taub, Synge, Choquet-B ruhat, etc.) have studied the corresponding equations for different physical phenomena : systems associated to the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, to hydrodynamics and to magnetohydrodynamics.

Download or read book Stability of Strong Discontinuities in Magnetohydrodynamics and Electrohydrodynamics written by Aleksandr Mikhaĭlovich Blokhin and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines multidimensional stability of strong discontinuities (e.g. shock waves) for systems of conservation laws and surveys the author's results for models of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (classical, 'pressure anisotropic', relativistic) and electrohydrodynamics. The primary attention is concentrated on linearised stability analysis, especially on the issue of uniform stability in the sense of the uniform Kreiss-Lopatinski condition. A so-called 'equational' approach based on obtaining, by the dissipative integrals technique, a priori estimates without loss of smoothness for corresponding linearised stability problems in the domains of uniform stability is described. Recent results for ideal models of MHD (classical MHD, 'pressure anisotropic' MHD of Chew, Goldberger and Low, relativistic MHD) and also for a certain non-hyperbolic model are presented as the system of electrohydrodynamics (EHD).

This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetohydrodynamics is concerned with the motion of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of electric or magnetic fields. Un fortunately, the subject has a rather poorly developed experimental basis and because of the difficulties inherent in carrying out controlled laboratory experiments, the theoretical developments, in large measure, have been concerned with finding solutions to rather idealized problems. This lack of experimental basis need not become, however, a multi megohm impedance in the line of progress in the development of a satisfactory scientific theory. While it is true that ultimately a scientific theory must agree with and, in actuality, predict physical phenomena with a reasonable degree of accuracy, such a theory must be sanctioned by its mathematical validity and consistency. Physical phenomena may be expressed precisely and quite comprehensively through the use of differential equations, and the equations formulated by LUNDQUIST and discussed by FRIEDRICHS belong to a class of equations particularly well-understood and extensively studied. This class includes, in fact, many other eminent members, the solutions of which have led to results of far-reaching scientific and technological application. Frequently, the mathematical analysis has provided the foundations and guidance necessary for further developments, and, reciprocally, the physical problems have provided, in many cases, the impetus for the development of new mathematical theories which often have evolved to an a priori unpredictable extent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in The Solar Plasma provides comprehensive and up-to-date theory and practice of the fundamentals of heliospheric research and the Sun’s basic plasma processes, covering the dynamics of the solar interior to its exterior in the framework of magnetohydrodynamics. The book covers novel aspects of solar and heliospheric physics, astrophysics and space science, and fundamentals of the fluids and plasmas. Topics covered include key phenomena in the solar interior such as magnetism, dynamo physics, and helioseismology; dynamics and plasma processes in its exterior including fluid processes such as waves, shocks, instabilities, reconnection, and dynamics in the partially ionized plasma; and physics and science related to coronal heating, solar wind, and eruptive phenomena. The content has been developed to specifically cover fundamental physics-related descriptions and up-to-date developments of the scientific research related to these significant topics. The book therefore provides the entire fundamental and front-line research aspects of solar and heliospheric plasma processes, mainly in the context of solar plasma, however, the content also has larger implications for the astrophysical plasma, and laboratory plasma, fluid dynamics, and associated basic theories. It also includes additional supplementary content such as key instruments and experimental techniques in the form of appendices, boxed-off key information highlighting the most fundamental and key aspects, and worked examples with additional question sets.Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in The Solar Plasma covers both the fundamentals of the topics included as well as up-to-date and future developments in this research field, forming an essential, foundational reference for researchers, academics, and advanced students, in the field of solar physics and astrophysics, as well as neighboring disciplines. Applies fundamental solar science and research in magnetohydrodynamic processes to practice, and uses in teaching and research Covers the latest developments in solar plasma processes in terms of both theoretical and fundamental aspects. Includes the large cohort of plasma processes (e.g., waves, shocks, instabilities, reconnection, heating, magnetism, seismology) significant for the diverse scales of the plasmas and fluids. Provides detailed physical and mathematical descriptions of the theories in each chapter, along with scientific details, which will enhance understanding of basic phenomena and aid in applying the practical content to current research

Book excerpt: I have felt the need for a book on the theory of solar magnetic fields for some time now. Most books about the Sun are written by observers or by theorists from other branches of solar physics, whereas those on magnetohydrodynamics do not deal extensively with solar applications. I had thought of waiting a few decades before attempting to put pen to paper, but one summer Josip Kleczek encouraged an im mediate start 'while your ideas are still fresh'. The book grew out of a postgraduate lecture course at St Andrews, and the resulting period of gestation or 'being with monograph' has lasted several years. The Sun is an amazing object, which has continued to reveal completely unexpected features when observed in greater detail or at new wavelengths. What riches would be in store for us if we could view other stars with as much precision! Stellar physics itself is benefiting greatly from solar discoveries, but, in tum, our understanding of many solar phenomena (such as sunspots, sunspot cycles, the corona and the solar wind) will undoubtedly increase in the future due to their observation under different conditions in other stars. In the 'old days' the solar atmosphere was regarded as a static, plane-parallel structure, heated by the dissipation of sound waves and with its upper layer expanding in a spherically symmetric manner as the solar wind. Outside of sunspots the magnetic field was thOUght to be unimportant with a weak uniform value of a few gauss.

This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation; methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid methods based on a combination of iterative procedures and best operator approximation; and methods for information compression and filtering under condition that a filter model should satisfy restrictions associated with causality and different types of memory. As a result, the book represents a blend of new methods in general computational analysis, and specific, but also generic, techniques for study of systems theory ant its particular branches, such as optimal filtering and information compression. - Best operator approximation, - Non-Lagrange interpolation, - Generic Karhunen-Loeve transform - Generalised low-rank matrix approximation - Optimal data compression - Optimal nonlinear filtering
