magnetogasdynamics (uncountable)

  1. The study of the interaction of gasdynamic forces and electromagnetic fields, especially in the investigation of flow phenomena of plasma within a magnetic field.
    • 1970, Indian Journal of Mechanics and Mathematics, volume 8, page 47:
      The object of the present note is to construct the three-dimensional solutions of magnetogasdynamics from two-dimensional solutions of gas-dynamics by using the principle of superposability.
    • 2012, Robert G. Jahn, Physics of Electric Propulsion, page 199:
      Probably the most broadly useful approach to electromagnetic acceleration, however, is that of magnetogasdynamics, wherein one regards the ionized gas medium as a continuum fluid whose physical properties may be adequately described by a set of bulk parameters and whose dynamical behavior may be represented by an appropriate set of continuum conservation relations.
