Definition of magnetohydrodynamics in English:
magnetohydrodynamics
plural noun maɡˌniːtəʊˌhʌɪdrə(ʊ)dʌɪˈnamɪksmaɡˌnēdōˌhīdrəˌdīˈnamiks
treated as singular The branch of physics that studies the behaviour of an electrically conducting fluid (such as a plasma or molten metal) acted on by a magnetic field.
Example sentencesExamples
- Stewartson studied rotating fluid flows, shear layers, magnetohydrodynamics, the triple-deck theory, and flow at both high and low Reynolds numbers.
- In addition, the sun's atmosphere poses extremely interesting problems in magnetohydrodynamics and fundamental plasma physics that have important implications for a wide range of astrophysical and geophysical problems.
- His work forms the basis of the modern science known as magnetohydrodynamics.
- This textbook provides a modern and accessible introduction to magnetohydrodynamics.
- My favorite in this category is magnetohydrodynamics, which is the study of plasmas and their interplay with electromagnetic fields.
Derivatives
adjective
To understand magnetohydrodynamic waves, let us first consider purely magnetic waves.
Example sentencesExamples
- Operation of the magnetohydrodynamic pump unit causes chlorine to be evolved from the seawater in the flow loop.
- No doubt because those magnetohydrodynamic currents are complex and unpredictable, the Earth's magnetic poles shift and even flip as time goes by.
- A number of experimental methods of spacecraft propulsion are based on magnetohydrodynamic principles.
- The discovery of magnetohydrodynamic waves was a major breakthrough in plasma physics and its applications to space physics and fusion research.
