Hello Matt,Is the Magnetohydrodynamics Book Worth Buying?

[CFDFEAGURU]

Hello all,

I was going to buy this book.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486450325/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Has anyone ever used it?

If you have used it, is it worth purchasing?

Thanks
Matt

It's a good book, especially for the price.

One does need a good background in EM and perhaps multivariable calculus or vector calculus to really appreciate the theory.

Thanks for the information Astronuc. I am good with the vector calculus but a little lagging in the EM world. Good to know the book relies on them.

Thanks
Matt

Here is Tom Dolan's course on Fusion Research.

See chapter 5 (Plasma Fundamentals) of his text at the bottom of the page.
