Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence — Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with what is a quasi neutral fluid with very high conductivity. The fluid approximation implies that the we focus at macro length and time scales which are much larger than the collision length and collision time… … Wikipedia

Bénard cells — are convection cells that appear spontaneously in a liquid layer when heat is applied from below. They can be obtained using a simple experiment first conducted by Henri Bénard, a French physicist, in 1900. The experiment illustrates the theory… … Wikipedia
Magnetic helicity — In plasma physics, magnetic helicity is the extent to which a magnetic field wraps around itself . It is a generalization of the topological concept of linking number to the differential quantities required to describe the magnetic field. As with … Wikipedia

Magnetorotational instability — The magnetorotational instability or MRI is a fluid instability that arises when the angular velocity of a magnetized fluid decreases as the distance from the rotation center increases. It can also be known as the Velikhov Chandrasekhar… … Wikipedia
