Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If fusion energy and astrophysical phenomena are your bag, and are fluent in calculus and partial differential equations, you too can learn about the wonders of spberomaks.Spheromaks are made from the stuff of the stars andsun, very hot ionized gasses wrapped in and among magnetic fields -- exceptthat they are produced in the laboratory in a number of research centersaround the world. The magnetic fields are formed and sustained by dynamoaction, as is the earths' field and the fields in sunspots.It is verycompetently written by an expert in this topic, and a "must read"for scientists in the field and those with curiosity about such things.

Product Description:
Spheromaks are easily formed, self-organized magnetized plasma configurations that have intrigued plasma physicists. Sometimes called magnetic vortices, magnetic smoke rings, or plasmoids, spheromaks first attracted attention as a possible controlled thermonuclear plasma configuration scheme, but are now known to have many other applications. This text begins with a review of the basic concepts of magnetohydrodynamics and toroidal magnetic configurations, then provides a detailed exposition of the 3D topological concepts underlying spheromak physics, namely magnetic helicity, Taylor relaxation, force-free equilibria, and tilt stability. It then examines spheromak formation techniques, driven and isolated configurations, dynamo concepts, practical experimental issues, diagnostics, and a number of applications. The book concludes by showing how spheromak ideas are closely related to the physics of solar prominences and interplanetary magnetic clouds.
