However, Leik Myrabo has proposed high-thrust laser electric propulsion, using magnetohydrodynamics to convert laser energy to electricity and to electrically accelerate air around a vehicle for thrust.

His main working fields are fluid mechanics, kinetic theory of gases, plasma physics applied in magnetohydrodynamics power generation and propulsion as well as topology and astrophysics applied in cosmology.
43.
Understanding these processes is an enormously difficult computational problem, because they can involve the physics of gravity, magnetohydrodynamics, atomic physics, nuclear reactions, turbulence and even general relativity.
44.
During the 1940s and 50s, Alfv�n developed magnetohydrodynamics ( MHD ) which enables plasmas to be modelled as waves in a fluid, for which Alfv�n won the 1970 Nobel Prize for physics.
45.
The uses of the PIC or MPM method can be divided into two broad categories : firstly, there are many applications involving fluid dynamics, plasma physics, magnetohydrodynamics, and multiphase applications.

Achi Brandt earned his Ph . D . degree at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1965, under the supervision of Joseph Gillis, with a thesis on numerical methods in hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics.
47.
This approximation can then be applied to areas such as classical electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, magnetohydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and more generally systems described by hyperbolic partial differential equations involving both spatial and time derivatives.
48.
Chandrasekhar's most notable work was the Space Shuttle " Columbia " on July 23, 1999 . The Chandrasekhar number, an important dimensionless number of magnetohydrodynamics, is named after him.
49.
A "'magnetohydrodynamic drive "'or "'MHD propulsor "'is a method for propelling vessels using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, using magnetohydrodynamics.
50.
The Chandrasekhar number is usually denoted by the letter \ Q, and is motivated by a dimensionless form of the Navier-Stokes equation in the presence of a magnetic force in the equations of magnetohydrodynamics:
