It's Xmas day and I'm feeling

It's Xmas day and I'm feeling generous :

HydraticNosyModMange +1 ( now I know why everything smells funny )

DandocMisogynyHermat +1 ( I have one of those! )

... I think everyone else has run away when they saw twenty letters. Don't blame them really. Meantimes ... woo woo .... whoopity golf ...

!! Clappy Hirstmas !!

... now I'm off to the family and the other rellies and the prezzies and the food and the drinks and the pavlova and the jellies and the ice cream with strawberries and cream and the sugar coma and the medicinal liquid supplements and did I mention the gifts, you know the stuff that people give you for nuthin like socks and jocks and books and retail cards and games and food items, plus playing with the dogs and their new toys that they got ? ...

Cheers, Mike.

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

I have to admit, that (along with a lack of time) is a major reason why I haven't seriously tackled it.

Okay, time to get serious here.

hydromontagedynamics
montagehydrodynamics
hydrodynamicmontages

The latter two would make sense if they weren't all one word, although I can't think of a sentence in which they would fit each other in any kind of context.

Ah hah! magnetohydrodynamics

Must be right -- Firefox isn't giving it a red squiggly underline.

Outstanding David ! Quite

Outstanding David ! Quite correct.

Magnetohydrodynamics is a ( quite difficult ) area of study in physics dealing with the behaviour of fluids ( liquid or gas ) composed of charged particles. Thus the fluid is electrically conducting. When we think of 'ordinary' hydrodynamics the particles within interact very locally - by bumping into each other if you like. But charged particles interact over much wider volumes. The 'hydro' is historical, you can talk of things other than water. Some relevant examples in astronomy : solar flares, the Earth's magnetic field ( especially in response to solar wind ), any sort of plasma really.

BTW : beware of 'silly' definitions eg.

Quote:
the branch of physics that studies the behavior of an electrically conducting fluid such as a plasma or molten metal acted on by a magnetic field.


The moron who wrote this clearly is unaware that magnetic fields don't exist independently of the charge distributions that produced it ie. electric fields.

What gives much difficulty is that the charges will move in response to other influences, but being themselves charged will alter said influences plus of course neighboring charges etc ....

Cheers, Mike.
