This chapter explores some of the ways physical dimensions, such as length, mass and time, impact on the work of scientists and engineers. Two main themes are considered: dimensional analysis, which involves deriving algebraic expressions to relate q... Read More about Dimensional analysis and dimensional reasoning.

Magnetothermal instability in laser plasmas including hydrodynamic effects (2012)
Journal Article
Bissell, J., Kingham, R., & Ridgers, C. (2012). Magnetothermal instability in laser plasmas including hydrodynamic effects. Physics of Plasmas, 19(5), Article 052107. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4718639

The impact of both density gradients and hydrodynamics on the evolution of the field compressing magnetothermal instability is considered [J. J. Bissell et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 175001 (2010)]. Hydrodynamic motion is found to have a limited effe... Read More about Magnetothermal instability in laser plasmas including hydrodynamic effects.
