Introduction to modern magnetohydrodynamics / Sébastien Galtier, Université Paris - Saclay.

"99% of ordinary matter in the Universe is in the form of ionized fluids, or plasmas. The study of the magnetic properties of such electrically conducting fluids, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), has become a central theory in astrophysics, as well as in areas such as engineering and geophysics. Thi...
