Develops a fresh mathematical approach to coronal seismology, explaining oscillatory phenomena by drawing upon original research and complex modelling techniques.

Recenzje

'Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is an extremely useful description for a wide variety of plasmas on a macroscopic scale. Such description also demands microscopic interrogation but still provides an excellent first pass at complete understanding. All physicists who study plasmas or conducting fluids must have more than passing familiarity with MHD. Roberts (Univ. of St. Andrews, Scotland) provides an excellent introduction to MHD in general and MHD waves …' M. A. Reynolds, Choice
