Magnetohydrodynamics
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the science of the dynamics of electrically-conducting fluids. Examples of such fluids include plasmas and liquid metals. The set of equations which describe MHD is a combination of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism.
Active fields of MHD research include:
Some people consider Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén to be the father of the discipline.
