Overview
MHD, which treats plasmas as a continuum medium, is a branch of plasma physics. It has been widely applied in solar physics, space physics and astrophysics. The summer school is designed especially for graduate students and young scientists, and the overall objective is to deepen the understanding of MHD theory and its applications in solar and space physics.
The summer school is intended to cover the following topics:
- Basic MHD theory, including assumptions, basic equations, properties, waves, etc.
- MHD applications in
- coronal heating and solar wind acceleration,
- CMEs,
- shocks,
- particle acceleration,
- magnetosphere.
- MHD Numerical Simulations, a tool reproducing and studying MHD phenomena.
- Observations and instruments, connecting theory to reality.
By attending this summer school, the students are expected to understand
- what the MHD is,
- under what circumstances MHD is applicable,
- why do we still need MHD whereas the plasma kinetic theory is well developed,
- how to use MHD to solve problems in solar and space physics.
