What is the full form of MHD?
MHD full form is “magnetohydrodynamics.” MHD is the investigation of magnetic features and properties of electrically conducting fluids. Liquid metals, plasmas, saltwater, and electrolytes are examples of fluids with these magnetic properties.

The phrase magneto-hydrodynamics is derived from the magneto, which means magnetic field, hydro, which means water, and dynamics, which means motion. Hannes Alfvén founded the field of MHD, for which he was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Aspects of MHD
- MHD is based on the premise that magnetic fields in a moving conductive fluid can generate currents, which polarize the liquid and alter the magnetic field independently.
- MHD is explained by a combination of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and the Maxwell equations of electromagnetism.
- Whether numerically or analytically, it is required to solve such equations simultaneously.
