Theory of MHD by Alexander Schekochihin (Part 1)

GdR Dynamo 2015

DATES : 01 Jun, 2015 - 12 Jun, 2015
VENUE : ICTS-TIFR, IISc campus, Bangalore

DESCRIPTION :
Dynamo or self-induced magnetic field generation in nature and laboratory is a very important area of research in physics, astrophysics, geophysics and solar physics. The problem has remained largely unsolved for a century due to its nonlinear nature. This field is multidisciplinary with active involvement from theoreticians, experimentalists, and computational scientists. Considering the importance of this problem in various fields, a large number of complex large-scale simulations and experiments have been performed, which provide very valuable insights into dynamo mechanisms including dynamo reversals. Many simulations and several large-scale experiments have been planned for further exploration of dynamo processes.
