Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence: Chandrasekhar's contributions and beyond
Abstract
In the period of 1948-1955, Chandrasekhar wrote four papers on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, which are the first set of papers in that area. The field moved on after following these pioneering efforts. In this paper, important works of MHD turbulence are briefly described, starting from those by Chandrasekhar.
