Introduction to Plasma Physics I: Magnetohydrodynamics - Matthew Kunz

Показать описание

Computational Plasma Astrophysics: July 18, 2016

Prospects in Theoretical Physics is an intensive two-week summer program typically designed for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars considering a career in theoretical physics (for 2014 only the program was one week in length). First held by the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in the summer of 2002, the PiTP program is designed to provide lectures and informal sessions on the latest advances and open questions in various areas of theoretical physics.

One of the goals of the program is to help the physics community train the next generation of scholars in theoretical physics. A special effort is made to reach out to women and minorities, as well as to graduate students in small universities who typically do not have the same opportunities and access to leaders in the field as graduate students in large research institutions.

Prospects in Theoretical Physics builds on the strong relationship of the research groups at the Institute and Princeton University, and many faculty members from the physics departments at both institutions are actively involved in the program together with scientists from neighboring institutions.

Lecture notes, compiled November 2020, can be found here:

There's also this collection of slides to accompany a class lecture on the subject:

Love MHD, getting really into it recently. Taking a graduate level fluid dynamics class this Fall because I like it so much (wrote professor and he said the final project I could pick MHD to work on). I'm trying to get a headstart on my knowledge, probably should start with basic fluids dynamics but wth hehe

DrAtomics

1 hour and a half to show that it does not apply to much of the stuff we shown in the beginning haha I loved it

Looks like an interesting lecture, but couldn't hear the speaker. Needs higher audio level.

Check out Ch. 10 of "Classical Electrodynamics" (2nd ed.) by Jackson for details on Plasma Physics/MHD.

Nice lecture on Introduction to Plasma Physics. Thank you sir

mehuldave

It would be nice if there is a link to the notes that the professor mentions. Great topic!

sound is as about as bad as it can get. why not produce one that is loud enough to make, whisper, the lower boundary and normal audible speech in the mid range. I have a good range of hearing so it is not the fact it is just me.

If the audio more clear it could be more better. Thanks.

Really good lecturing..Nice presentation sir

Thank you very much Sir for this interesting lecture.

1:20] Every once in a while a student should be forces to undergo the operation of deriving something that is foundational *- because they cannot [or will not] do so for themselves -*. but will make them smarter.

Definitionally, a derivation is the extraction of new knowledge from the great unknown - it has never been thunk before - it is not easy to think something new, which is why you have to be forced to learn how it was done, even if it is just the damned quadratic equation!
