What it is about

You will receive a mathematically focused introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) — the theory of electrically conducting fluids in a magnetic field. By the end you will be able to understand the fundamental MHD equations, their derivation from multi-fluid models, central conservation laws, as well as reduced and variational/Hamiltonian formulations, and place them in the scholarly literature.

What you will be able to do

  • Basic concepts and key quantities of fluid dynamics in the MHD context
  • Derivation of the MHD equations from multi-fluid approaches
  • Applying global conservation laws and the conservation of magnetic flux linkage
  • Understanding topological properties of magnetic field lines
  • Knowledge of reduced MHD models as well as variational and Hamiltonian formulations
  • Ability to assess MHD mathematical literature and apply methods to new problems
