Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Chandrasekhar's Contributions \& Beyond
Mahendra K. Verma
TL;DR
This paper reviews Chandrasekhar's pioneering work on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence from 1948-1955 and discusses subsequent developments in the field, highlighting the foundational contributions and future directions.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of Chandrasekhar's early contributions to MHD turbulence and contextualizes their impact on subsequent research in the field.
Findings
Chandrasekhar's four foundational papers established key principles in MHD turbulence.
The field has significantly advanced since Chandrasekhar's initial work.
Current research builds upon these early theoretical foundations.
Abstract
In the period of 1948-1955, Chandrasekhar wrote four papers on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, which are the first set of papers in the area. The field moved on following these pioneering efforts. In this paper, I will briefly describe important works of MHD turbulence, starting from those by Chandrasekhar.
