Turbulence and nonlinear dynamics in MHD flows : proceedings of the Workshop on Turbulence and Nonlinear Dynamics in MHD Flows, Cargèse, France, July 4-8, 1988

Topics discussed at this international workshop include: magnetic fields in astrophysical flows, slow and fast dynamos, MHD turbulence in space plasmas and in the laboratory, exact solutions to MHD, topology and chaos in MHD, helicity and velocity-magnetic correlations, turbulent reconnection and non-magnetic flows.
