Applications of Lie Group Methods to the Equations of Magnetohydrodynamics
The invariance properties of various sets of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are studied using techniques from the theory of differential forms. Equations considered include the ideal MHD equations in different geometries and with different magnetic field configurations, the MHD equations in …

A study of magnetoplasmadynamic effects in turbulent supersonic flows with application to detonation and explosion
… phenomenon in a magnetized medium. While the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations share many of the mathematical characteristics of the hydrodynamic equations, numerical methods developed for the conservation equations of a magnetized plasma are complicated by the requirement that the magnetic …

The Role of MHD Waves and Ambipolar Diffusion in the Formation of Interstellar Cloud Cores and Protostars
… magnetic molecular clouds in the presence of MHD waves. The model clouds are initially in exact equilibrium states, with magnetic, thermal-pressure, and wave-pressure forces balancing self-gravity. An energy equation for MHD waves in a partially ionized medium is derived and solved numerically …

Test particle studies of acceleration and transport in solar and tokamak plasmas
… are exact solutions of the linearized ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. The protons are initially Maxwellian, at temperatures that are consistent with the cold plasma approximation. Two kinds of wave solution are invoked: global perturbations, with inward- and outward-propagating …
