Flow Control and Propulsion in Poor Conductors

  • Chapter
Magnetohydrodynamics

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics And Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 80))

The possibility to act on a fluid flow in a contactless way, offered by magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), stimulated the imagination of aerodynamists and naval engineers relatively early.
