Large-Scale Perturbations of Magnetohydrodynamic Regimes

New developments for hydrodynamical dynamo theory have been spurred by recent evidence of self-sustained dynamo activity in laboratory experiments with liquid metals.

The emphasis in the present volume is on the introduction of powerful mathematical techniques required to tackle modern multiscale analysis of continous systems and there application to a number of realistic model geometries of increasing complexity.

This introductory and self-contained research monograph summarizes the theoretical state-of-the-art to which the author has made pioneering contributions.
