| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course provides fundamentals of magnetohydrodynamics which describes the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids, such as plasmas and liquid metals. The course covers the fundamental equations in magnetohydrodynamics, dynamics and heat transfer of magnetofluid in a magnetic field, equilibrium and stability of magnetized plasmas, as well as illustrative examples. | |||
| Course Goals | The students can understand fundamentals of magnetohydrodynamics which describes the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids, such as plasmas and liquid metals. Moreover, the students will figure out the applications of magnetohydrodynamics to the various science and engineering fields. | |||
