Helicities in Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Beyond
About this book
Presents cutting-edge studies of helicities from different research fields
Helicities play essential roles in numerous geophysical, astrophysical, and magnetohydrodynamic phenomena, thus are studied from various disciplinary viewpoints.
Helicities in Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Beyond draws together experts from different research fields to present an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to helicity studies. This synthesis advances understanding of the fundamental physical processes underlying various helicity-related phenomena.
Volume highlights include:
- Concise introduction to fundamental properties of helicities
- Recent developments and achievements in helicity studies
- Perspectives from different fields including geophysics, space physics, solar physics, plasma physics, atmospheric and nonlinear sciences
- A cohesive mathematical, physical, observational, experimental, and numerical strategy for helicity studies
- A synthesized framework for the application of helicity to real-world problems
