1. Mathematical Aspects of Natural Dynamos

   Edited by Emmanuel Dormy, Andrew M. Soward

   Series: The Fluid Mechanics of Astrophysics and Geophysics

   Although the origin of Earth's and other celestial bodies' magnetic fields remains unknown, we do know that the motion of electrically conducting fluids generates and maintains these fields, forming the basis of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and, to a larger extent, dynamo theory. Answering the need...
