magnetohydrodynamic, a.|mægˌniːtəʊhaɪdrəʊdaɪˈnæmɪk| [f. magneto- (repr. electromagnetic) + hydrodynamic a.] = hydromagnetic a. Abbrev. MHD (see M 5).
1943[see hydromagnetic a.]. 1950H. Alfvén Cosmical Electrodynamics iv. 76 This coupling between mechanical and electromagnetic forces produces a type of wave motion, called magneto-hydrodynamic waves. 1960Times 14 Apr. 2/2 (Advt.), Central Electricity Generating Board... Teams are being formed to work on the following projects:— ..Magnetohydrodynamic generation. Fundamental research on (relatively) low temperature plasmas and their interactions with magnetic fields [etc.]. 1961Engineering 16 June 817/3 The magnetohydrodynamic prospect, direct generation by passing hot gas through a magnetic field. 1962F. I. Ordway et al. Basic Astronautics vi. 287 In a binary system, the angular momentum of the main star seems to have been transferred to the orbital motion of the second star. The means by which the angular momentum was shuffled off is not entirely clear, but magnetohydrodynamic or viscous effects could have played the key role. 1971I. G. Gass et al. Understanding Earth vi. 94/2 Runcorn has re-examined the possibility of exciting the wobble [of the rotating earth] by the effects of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the fluid outer core. Hence magˌnetohydrodyˈnamical a., -dyˈnamically adv.
1953L. H. Aller Astrophysics ix. 354 Alfvén suggested a theory of sunspots based on magneto-hydrodynamical waves. 1959Jrnl. Geophysical Res. LXIV. 1220/1 The entire medium can..be stirred up without requiring any magnetohydrodynamical work. 1962W. B. Thompson Introd. Plasma Physics iv. 58 The possibility of producing a magnetohydrodynamically confined plasma has stimulated an enormous research effort in plasma physics. |
