Sometimes called magnetic vortices, magnetic smoke rings, or plasmoids, spheromaks first attracted attention as a possible controlled thermonuclear plasma confinement scheme, but are now known to have many other applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book begins with a review of the basic concepts of magnetohydrodynamics and toroidal magnetic configurations, then provides a detailed exposition of the 3D topological concepts underlying spheromak physics, namely magnetic helicity, Taylor relaxation, force-free equilibria, and tilt stability. It then examines spheromak formation techniques, driven and isolated configurations, dynamo concepts, practical experimental issues, diagnostics, and a number of applications. The book concludes by showing how spheromak ideas are closely related to the physics of solar prominences and interplanetary magnetic clouds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892372062359,"sku":"9781860941412","price":12241.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781860941412.webp?v=1781186697","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/spheromaks-a-practical-application-of-magnetohydrodynamic-dynamos-and-plasma-self-organization-9781860941412","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
