MHD

MHD stands for Magnetohydrodynamics. It is a field of study in physics that focuses on the behavior of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. This includes examining how magnetic fields interact with the motion of conducting fluids, such as plasmas, liquid metals, and saltwater. The equations governing MHD combine the principles of fluid dynamics and electromagnetic theory, leading to a set of coupled equations that describe the dynamics of these fluids. MHD has applications in various areas, including astrophysics (such as the study of stellar and solar phenomena), engineering (like nuclear fusion research), and geophysics (such as understanding Earth’s magnetic field and the behavior of ocean currents).
