Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence /
This book presents an introduction to, and state-of-the-art account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Applications to three topics from astrophysics are considered: the solar wind, accretion disks, and the interstellar medium. Suitable for graduate students and researchers working in turbule...
