magnetogasdynamics

English

magnetogasdynamics (uncountable)

The study of the interaction of gasdynamic forces and electromagnetic fields, especially in the investigation of flow phenomena of plasma within a magnetic field.

  The object of the present note is to construct the three-dimensional solutions of magnetogasdynamics from two-dimensional solutions of gas-dynamics by using the principle of superposability.
- 2012, Robert G. Jahn, Physics of Electric Propulsion, page 199:
  Probably the most broadly useful approach to electromagnetic acceleration, however, is that of magnetogasdynamics, wherein one regards the ionized gas medium as a continuum fluid whose physical properties may be adequately described by a set of bulk parameters and whose dynamical behavior may be represented by an appropriate set of continuum conservation relations.
