Abstract:
Magnetohydrodynamics is an adequate theoretical framework to study a large variety of astrophysical flows. The generation of magnetic fields by dynamo mechanisms, the development of turbulent flows or the topological change of magnetic fields by reconnection, are just a few examples. First, we describe the basic features of the MHD framework. Second, we make a brief introduction to the physical processes listed above, namely: dynamo action, MHD turbulence, and magnetic reconnection. Finally, we show the results arising from numerical simulations of these processes, for a number of configurations of astrophysical interest. © 2005 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
