I present a review of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in a strongly magnetised plasma. The approach is phenomenological even where a more rigorous theory is available, so that a reader armed with paper, pencil and some…

MHD Turbulence is common in many space physics and astrophysics environments. We first discuss the properties of incompressible MHD turbulence. A well-conductive fluid amplifies initial magnetic fields in a process called small-scale…

The Eulerian system of dynamic equations for the ideal fluid is closed but incomplete. The complete system of dynamic equations arises after appending Lin constraints which describe motion of fluid particles in a given velocity field. The…
