Spheromaks : a practical application of magnetohydrodynamic dynamos and plasma self-organization /
"Spheromaks are easily formed, self-organized magnetized plasma configurations that have intrigued plasma physicists for over two decades." "This book begins with a review of the basic concepts of magnetohydrodynamics and toroidal magnetic configurations, then provides a detailed expo...
