Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universe is made up of systems consisting of a very large number of particles interacting in a very complex way. When studying these systems, a precise microscopic approach is unattainable. In practice, the best strategy is one that is able to “distinguish” between superfluous information and the information needed to make predictions about the evolution of the system. There are two main competing approaches: kinetic and hydrodynamic. Collective Phenomena in Plasmas and Elsewhere presents an overview of the theoretical bases of these kinetic and hydrodynamic approaches, but also discusses their limitations, the links between them and their extension to quantum mechanics and relativity. These methods were born in part out of the study of plasmas, but they also have more universal applications. A general framework for these approaches is outlined, followed by some applications in plasmas, gravitation, Bose–Einstein condensates and dark matter. Particular emphasis is placed on the analogies that can be made between all these different systems.

Book Synopsis Collective Modes in Inhomogeneous Plasmas by : Jan Weiland
Download or read book Collective Modes in Inhomogeneous Plasmas written by Jan Weiland and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective Modes in Inhomogeneous Plasmas: Kinetic and Advanced Fluid Theory presents the collective drift and MHD-type modes in inhomogeneous plasmas from the point of view of two-fluid and kinetic theory. Written by an internationally respected plasma transport theoretician, this introductory monograph emphasizes the description of the plasma rather than the geometry to present a more general approach to a large class of plasma problems. Starting with generalized fluid equations for low frequency phenomena, the author shows how drift waves and MHD-type modes can arise from the effects of inhomogeneities in the plasma. The kinetic description is then presented to reveal a host of phenomena ranging from vortex modes and finite Larmor radius effects to trapped and fast particle instabilities, transport, diffusion, and other advanced fluid effects. Theoretical and computational plasma physicists modeling confined plasmas will find this illustrated book a very valuable addition to their collection.

Interdisciplinary meetings at the border between plasma physics and astrophysics are becoming increasingly important. In the recent past, several proceedings volumes have been devoted to astrophysical plasmas. This volume has the unique feature of being professional but not specialized, because it covers an unusually broad spectrum of topics under the common theme of the study of complex and collective phenomena in macroscopic systems, from the scale of laboratory plasma experiments to the scale of the universe. Included are: - basic plasma processes - space plasmas, planetary plasmas, and the heliosphere - solar and stellar plasmas - plasmas around compact objects - plasmas in galaxies - plasmas in clusters of galaxies - cosmological plasmas - testing plasma astrophysics in the laboratory
Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Linear Theories and Methods of Electrostatic Waves in Plasmas by : William Jones

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern plasma physics, encompassing wave-particle interactions and collec tive phenomena characteristic of the collision-free nature of hot plasmas, was founded in 1946 when 1. D. Landau published his analysis of linear (small amplitude) waves in such plasmas. It was not until some ten to twenty years later, however, with impetus from the then rapidly developing controlled fusion field, that sufficient attention was devoted, in both theoretical and experimental research, to elucidate the importance and ramifications of Landau's original work. Since then, with advances in laboratory, fusion, space, and astrophysical plasma research, we have witnessed important devel opments toward the understanding of a variety of linear as well as nonlinear plasma phenomena, including plasma turbulence. Today, plasma physics stands as a well-developed discipline containing a unified body of powerful theoretical and experimental techniques and including a wide range of appli cations. As such, it is now frequently introduced in university physics and engineering curricula at the senior and first-year-graduate levels. A necessary prerequisite for all of modern plasma studies is the under standing oflinear waves in a temporally and spatially dispersive medium such as a plasma, including the kinetic (Landau) theory description of such waves. Teaching experience has usually shown that students (seniors and first-year graduates), when first exposed to the kinetic theory of plasma waves, have difficulties in dealing with the required sophistication in multidimensional complex variable (singular) integrals and transforms.

Book Synopsis Cross-Scale Coupling in Space Plasmas by : James L. Horwitz
Download or read book Cross-Scale Coupling in Space Plasmas written by James L. Horwitz and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1995-01-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 93. A principal goal of space plasma researchers is to understand the influence of various transport processes on each other, even when such processes operate at widely varying spatial and temporal scales. We know that large-scale plasma flows in space lead to unstable conditions with small spatial (centimeters to meters) and temporal (microseconds to seconds) scales. The large-scale flows, for example in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, involve scale lengths of kilometers to several Earth radii and temporal scales of minutes to hours. We must know specific contextual answers to the questions: Do the small-scale waves (microprocesses) modify the large-scale flows? Do these modifications significantly affect the transport of mass, momentum, and energy? How can such coupling processes and their influences be revealed observationally? And, perhaps most challenging of all, how do we incorporate the microprocesses into theoretical models of larger-scale space plasma transport?
Book Synopsis Recent Research Developments In Plasma Physics by : Jan Weiland
Download or read book Recent Research Developments In Plasma Physics written by Jan Weiland and published by . This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development in plasma physics has recently been quite rapid and it is difficult to keep up with the evolution in all areas at the same time. Thus a review of the present state of plasma physics in different areas can be very useful although it is, of course, difficult to make it complete. In the present review we include basic plasma physics, laboratory and space plasmas, fusion plasmas, industrial plasmas and cosmology. Among these there are several contributions on fusion plasmas, including also a general overview of the state of nuclear fusion research. Natural starting points when discussing plasma physics are the facts that plasma is the fourth state of matter and that over 99% of the universe is in the plasma state. With this background it is somewhat surprising that plasmas are very scarce on earth and appear in natural state only in lightenings and, of course, at a distance from the earth as the ionosphere. The main application of plasma physics on earth is for the purpose of energy production but new areas like plasma processing and semiconductor plasmas are increasing in importance. The ionosphere is also of a practical importance for space crafts. In order to have a framework for understanding all these different areas of applications we need basic plasma physics including theory. A new way of understanding plasmas, which has become increasingly useful with the development of powerful computers is by kinetic simulation. Large kinetic simulations can be seen as small scale experiments with very good diagnostic possibilities. Nevertheless the understanding of large scale simulations requires advanced knowledge in statistical physics. For simulations on the transport timescale in tokamaks we still have to resort to fluid models. This makes questions of the fluid closure important. Here we have a cross diciplinary interest with Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) used for small nanoscale systems in semiconductors. For such systems an entropy principle has been used for obtaining a fluid closure. A problem with this, for fusion plasmas, is that the entropy principle is valid only for isolated systems. This focuses the interest on the effect of external sources. External sources may, of course be of significant interest for many types of system. Philosophical aspects of external sources enter in cosmology where such sources would alter Hubble s law for the expansion of the universe. A last aspect of plasmas, also connected to the previous discussion of kinetic and fluid modes is the individual particle picture in contrast to the collective motion picture. Of course individual particle orbits are fundamental to plasma physics and to confinement in fusion systems. Nevertheless it is usually the collective aspects of many such individual orbits which dominate the dynamics in magnetic confinement. It is easy to get an intuitive feeling for collective plasma motion by looking at the discharge in a vacuum tube. It is also natural to associate the collective motion with the fluid picture. Thus in a kinetic description of collective phenomena we may think of the dynamics in terms of fluidlike bulk motion together with individual particles which are in some kind of resonance with the bulk motion. We here speak about particles which are not localized with respect to the bulk structures. An interesting, but not surprising, point is that localisation of particles in the fluid sense and in the overall confinement sense is typically provided by the same physics processes.
