Most widely held works by H. K Moffatt

Magnetic field generation in electrically conducting fluids by H. K Moffatt ( Book )
5 editions published between 1977 and 1983 in English and Undetermined and held by 339 libraries worldwide

Magnetohydrodynamics historical evolution and trends ( Book )
8 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 298 libraries worldwide
"Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) studies the interaction between the flow of an electrically conducting fluid and magnetic fields. It involves such diverse topics as the evolution and dynamics of astrophysical objects, thermonuclear fusion, metallurgy and semiconductor crystal growth, etc. Although the first ideas in magnetohydrodynamics appeared at the beginning of the last century, the "explosion" in theoretical and experimental studies occurred in the 1950s-60s." "This book aims at revising the evolution of ideas in various branches of magnetohydrodynamics (astrophysics, earth and solar dynamics, plasmas, MHD turbulence and liquid metals) and reviews current trends and challenges."--Jacket.

Perspectives in fluid dynamics : a collective introduction to current research ( Book )
5 editions published between 2000 and 2003 in English and held by 241 libraries worldwide
"Fluid mechanics is a rich and fascinating subject, with applications ranging from modelling the environment, to automotive design, to physiology, to astrophysics. At the same time, basic physical phenomena such as turbulence still present fundamental challenges. Conventional textbooks cannot hope to give graduate students more than an inkling of what topics are currently being researched, or how to make a choice between them. This book aims to rectify matters, at least in part. It consists of eleven chapters that each introduces a different branch of the subject. Though not exhaustive, the coverage is broad: thin-film flows, Saffman-Taylor fingering, flows in arteries and veins, convective and absolute instabilities, turbulence, natural convection, magnetohydrodynamics, solidification, geological fluid mechanics, oceanography and atmospheric dynamics are all introduced and reviewed by established authorities. Thus the book will not only be suitable for graduate-level courses but also for specialists seeking introductions to other areas."--BOOK JACKET.

La mécanique des fluides by Henry Keith Moffatt ( Visual )
1 edition published in 2005 in French and held by 12 libraries worldwide
Extrait du résumé figurant sur la jaquette : Conférence donnée le 18 Juin 2005 par Henri KEITH MOFFATT. La dynamique des fluides est un sujet qui s'applique largement : en biologie, en géophysique et en astrophysique, en océanographie et en météorologie, ainsi qu'en génies chimique, nucléaire, aéronautique, hydraulique et en écologie. Dans tous ces contextes, le fluide, qui est soit en phase liquide, soit gazeuse, soit sous forme de plasma (gaz ionisé), est traité comme un milieu continu représenté par les champs de densité, de pression et de vitesse satisfaisant la fameuse équation de Navier-Stokes. Cette équation décrit des phénomènes se produisant sur une très grande gamme d'échelles de longueur, allant de l'échelle 'sub-micron' des phénomènes biologiques à un extrême, jusqu'à l'échelle 'super-parsec' des phénomènes cosmologiques et astrophysiques à l'autre. Nous présenterons un point de vue sur ces phénomènes et discuterons en particulier l'effet dynamo, qui correspond à l'auto-excitation du champ géomagnétique due aux mouvements se produisant dans le noyau liquide terrestre, problème classique pour lequel des progrès remarquables ont été réalisés depuis ces cinq dernières décennies. Deux aspects de ce problème peuvent être illustrés par des phénomènes analogues, mais plus simples, provenant de la dynamique des corps rigides. Tout d'abord, l'auto-excitation d'un champ magnétique dans un fluide conducteur est associée à la chiralité de l'écoulement turbulent, propriété que possède le 'rattleback', toupie asymétrique qui présente un curieux comportement quand on la fait tourner sur une table. Nous montrerons ensuite que l'instabilité dynamo est dissipatrice par nature, car il faut de la dissipation par effet Joule pour permettre l'intensification du champ magnétique, ceci sur l'échelle du temps de dissipation qui est de l'ordre de 10,000 ans dans le contexte terrestre. L'instabilité dissipatrice peut être illustrée par le phénomène familier de 'l'oeuf montant'. La conférence sera agrémentée par quelques démonstrations simples de ce genre d'instabilités.
