Based on the author’s research and practical projects, he presents a broad view of the needs and problems of the shipping industry in this area. The book covers several models and control types, developing an integrated nonlinear state-space model of the marine propulsion system.
The book delves into the core principles of mathematical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), beginning with essential definitions related to MHD fluids and plasmas found in both nature and engineering applications like metallurgy and thermonuclear fusion. It explores fluid collisions, individual particle motion, and introduces key concepts of transport phenomena and surface interactions. Additionally, it covers various waves and resonances within MHD media, culminating in a discussion of the primary types of MHD fluids, particularly plasma relevant to fusion power generation.
