Magnetic Reconnection: MHD Theory and Applications

Magnetic reconnection is on the center of many dynamic phenomena within the universe, reminiscent of sunlight flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. Written by way of international leaders at the topic, this quantity presents a finished evaluate of this basic method. assurance offers either a pedagogical account of the elemental idea and a wide-ranging overview of the actual phenomena created by means of reconnection--from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's surroundings to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks.

The simple expansion in rectangull1r coordinates is possible only because the orientations of the unit vectors are independent of position. CHAPTER 2 ELECTROSTATICS ThiS"chapter develops the basic properties of the electrostatic field in vacuum. The law of Coulomb for the force between two point charges is the experimental basis for the work of this chapter. The electric field is defined as the force exerted on a unit positive charge and leads to its establishment as a fundamental entity.

The most general vector field will have both a nonzero divergence and a nonzero curl. We shall show that this field can always be considered as the sum of a solenoidal and an irrotational field. This statement is essentially the content of Helmholtz's theorem. Another way of stating the Helmholtz theorem is that a vector field is completely specified by its divergence and curl. The latter constitute the source and vortex source of the field, respectively. Before proceeding to the general case we shall treat the two special cases mentioned above first.

It is often of interest to compute the potential set up at distances which are very large compared with the extent of the source region. 92) in powers of y:' which are small compared with x, y, z.
