Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Fluid Equations
This is the first in a series of notes on various topics in magneto-hydrodynamics. A large part of this material has been presented in informal lectures at irregular intervals since l95u. A set of four mimeo graphed notes, representing some of the early develop ments, was issued in July l9su with the purpose of acquainting a small group at nyu with certain aspects of theisubject. Meanwhile, a certain amount of general interest has been exhibited in these notes, and it was felt to be worthwhile to rewrite the original notes in a somewhat more readable form, at the same time extend ing and elaborating them greatly; The original four notes are contained in numbers u, 7 of this series. Although many of these reports are unconnected, an attempt will be made to supply enough background material to make the series to some degree self-contained.
The status of the subject of magneto-hydrodynamics is somewhat paradoxical. It involves in combination, various aspects of fluid dynamics, electromagnetic theory, kinetic theory, and occasionally relativity. Most of this was available to Maxwell and he had the material to develop the subject to a considerable extent, but only recently has it been attacked significantly. Another.
