Magneto-Fluid Dynamics Fundamentals and Case Studies of Natural Phenomena /

This book concerns the generation of electric currents and of electric space charges inside conducting media that move in magnetic fields. The authors postulate nothing but the Maxwell equations. They discuss at length the disk dynamo, which serves as a model for the natural self-excited dynamos tha...
