In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

The theory of plasma confinement by non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is reviewed. Such
fields are used to confine fusion plasmas in stellarators, where in contrast to tokamaks and …

The preface begins' Turbulence is a dangerous topic...'—with which any aircraft operator will
agree—but goes on'... which is often at the origin of serious fights in the scientific meetings …

Observations of the sun with high time and spatial resolution in UV and X-rays show that the
emission from small isolated magnetic bipoles is intermittent and impulsive, while the …

A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics considers hydrodynamics to be the
differential geometry of diffeomorphism groups. The principle of least action implies that the …

A radiative model for the soft gamma repeaters and the energetic 1979 March 5 burst is
presented. We identify the sources of these bursts with neutron stars the external magnetic …

This is a personal statement on the present state of understanding of coherent structures, in
particular their spatial details and dynamical significance. The characteristic measures of …

This book comprises seven chapters, an appendix, a bibliographical section 98 references,
and an index. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. The stated goal of the book …

The particle paths of the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flows\[u=(A\sin z+ C\cos y, B\sin x+
A\cos z, C\sin y+ B\cos x).\] are investigated both analytically and numerically. This three …

ALTHOUGH well developed turbulence exhibits complex, chaotic spatial and temporal
behaviour, there is much experimental evidence to suggest that a remarkable degree of …
