This three-volume series presents the ideas, models and approaches essential to
understanding plasma dynamics and self-organization for researchers and graduate …

A theory of potential vorticity (PV) mixing in a disordered (tangled) magnetic field is
presented. The analysis is in the context of β-plane MHD, with a special focus on the physics …

The book introduces readers to and summarizes the current ideas and theories about the
basic mechanisms for transport in chaotic flows. Typically no single paradigmatic approach …

Nonlinear closure models of the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations predict
that the turbulent diffusivity of magnetic fields in high magnetic Reynolds number flows will …

This paper concerns the generation of large-scale flows in forced two-dimensional systems.
A Kolmogorov flow with a sinusoidal profile in one direction (driven by a body force) is …

This Rapid Communication identifies the physical mechanism for the quench of turbulent
resistivity in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics. Without an imposed, ordered …

An active scalar system refers to a system with a scalar field that is coupled to the fluid
dynamics and gives feedback to the velocity field through local forces. Active scalar …

In the process of flux expulsion, a magnetic field is expelled from a region of closed
streamlines on a T R1/3 m time scale, for magnetic Reynolds number Rm 1 (T being the …

Classical graph theory has been developed in regard to its applications in urban planning,
transport, energetics, and many other fields. The general optimization mindset dominating …
