The present set of lectures is devoted to magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in astrophysics with strong emphasis on numerical simulations. The book strives for a balance between state-of-the-art reports and a tutorial approach. It is thus particularly suited as an introduction to the field for nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students, while experienced scientists will find the book to be a comprehensive source of reference for their research.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The combination of a state-of-the-art review with a tutorial approach will be attractive both to scientists active in the field as well as an introductory text for no-specialists."(Astrophysics and Space Science 2004, vol. 293, page 461-462)
