Magnetic Reconnection: MHD Theory and Applications

Magnetic reconnection is on the center of many dynamic phenomena within the universe, similar to sunlight flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. Written through international leaders at the topic, this quantity presents a complete review of this basic technique. insurance offers either a pedagogical account of the fundamental idea and a wide-ranging overview of the actual phenomena created through reconnection--from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's surroundings to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks.

Friis, "Antennas: Theory and Practice," chap. , New York, 1952. 1 2 42 Radiation from wire antennas current centers on the evaluation of the so-called radiation vector N defined by the integrall N J = Vo e-ike,'r'J(r')dV' (12) where er is the unit vector pointing from the origin to the point of observation and r' is the position vector extending from the origin to the volume element dV'. The required information on J can be obtained either by solving the boundary-value problem which the analytical determination of J poses or by choosing the current on empirical grounds.

Although the determination of the antenna current is a boundary-value problem of considerable complexity, a sufficiently accurate estimate of the current distribution can be obtained in the case of thin wires by assuming that the antenna current is a solution of the onedimensional Helmholtz equation and hence consists of an appropriate superposition of simple waves of current. , radiation resistance and gain, because the far-zone field in almost all directions is insensitive to small deviations of the current from the exact current.
