Böcker i The Fluid Mechanics of Astrophysics and Geophysics-serien

Geophysical and Astrophysical Convection collects important papers from an international group of the world's foremost researchers in geophysical and astrophysical convection to present a concise overview of recent thinking in the field.

Based on selected papers presented at the 7th SEDI symposium, this text reflects developments in the study of the Earth's deep interior using experimental and observational techniques including: seismology, the monitoring of the Earth's rotation, geomagnetism and accurate measurements of the gravity fields.

Covers dynamo theory and modeling aspects of natural dynamos. This book introduces governing equations, outlines the kinematic dynamo theory, covers nonlinear effects, including amplitude saturation and polarity reversals, and discusses fluid dynamics.

Collects papers from a group of the world's foremost researchers in geophysical and astrophysical convection. This book presents an overview of thinking in the field including topics like: Atmospheric convection, solar and stellar convection, unsteady non-penetrative thermal convection, astrophysical convection and dynamos, and more.

Reviews the status of the field of astrophysical fluid dynamics. This book includes such topics as Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), including MHD turbulence, the dynamo problem, and some laboratory experiments. It illustrates the symbiotic relation between theory and observation.
