Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

This course covers the intricate subject of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Turbulence, providing a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between velocity and magnetic fields, akin to how a river's current affects a floating log's movement. The course delves into the formalism of MHD Turbulence, energy transfer, fluxes, and various turbulence models. It further elucidates the concept of dynamo and the equations related to it, along with the conservation laws in MHD Turbulence, the concept of Alfven waves, and the role of non-linear terms in MHD. The course also explores energy transfers in MHD, including the equations for energy, kinetic energy, and magnetic field, and the concept of triads in energy transfer. It concludes with a detailed discussion on energy turbulence models for MHD, the theories and models proposed by various researchers, and the unsolved problems and divergences in these models.
