Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscillations which are possible within a stationary, homogeneous, fully ionized, macroscopically neutral plasma of infinite extent are examined. In a field-free case, the dispersion relations for the longitudinal electron waves, the longitudinal ion waves, and the transverse electromagnetic waves are verified. For a longitudinal applied magnetic field, there are four dispersion relations, each representing a different type of plasma oscillation. Two of these are the same longitudinal electron and ion waves that are possible in the field-free case, and the remaining two are ordinary and extraordinary transverse waves which at high frequencies agree with the magneto-ionic theory of Appleton, at low frequencies agree with the magnetohydrodynamic theory of Alfven, and at intermediate frequencies have a form which does not agree with either of the earlier theories. With a transverse applied magnetic field, there are four solutions to the dispersion equation. One of these is the ordinary transverse wave of magneto-ionic theory, but the remaining three each represent complex coupled oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the applied field. After a great deal of analysis it is shown that one can arrange the solutions in a form such that one type of oscillation is identical to the extraordinary waves in magneto-ionic theory, another is quite similar to the longitudinal electron waves in the field free case, and the third coupled oscillation reduce to a longitudinal magnetohydrodynamic wave at low frequencies, an ordinary ionic wave at high frequencies, and a new type of wave at mid-frequencies.

Book Synopsis Dispersion Relations for Quasi-static Waves on Moving Finite Cross-section Plasmas by : A. J. Lichtenberg
Download or read book Dispersion Relations for Quasi-static Waves on Moving Finite Cross-section Plasmas written by A. J. Lichtenberg and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stationary plasma in the presence of a magnetic field may be represented by an equivalent dielectric tensor. Within the quasistatic approximation, the dielectric tensor leads directly to the dispersion relation for waves on a bounded plasma. The equivalent dielectric tensor of a moving plasma, valid within the quasi-static approximation, is found by a Lorentz transformation of the dielectric tensor from a reference frame in which the plasma is at rest to one in which the laboratory is at rest. The range of validity of the dielectric tensor is investigated, and the relation between this tensor and the equivalent dielectric tensor found from Maxwell's curl equation is determined. An infinite number of moving plasma streams with a Maxwellian velocity distribution are summed to obtain the dielectric tensor of a finite-temperature plasma. Within the quasi-static approximation, the dispersion equation is then determined for a bounded, finite-temperature plasma, in the presence of a magnetic field. The result is shown to reduce to the dispersion relation for a cold plasma in the limit as the temperature goes to zero. (Author).

Book Synopsis Space Plasma Physics by : Akira Hasegawa
Download or read book Space Plasma Physics written by Akira Hasegawa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 30 years of space exploration, important discoveries in the near-earth environment such as the Van Allen belts, the plasmapause, the magnetotail and the bow shock, to name a few, have been made. Coupling between the solar wind and the magnetosphere and energy transfer processes between them are being identified. Space physics is clearly approaching a new era, where the emphasis is being shifted from discoveries to understanding. One way of identifying the new direction may be found in the recent contribution of atmospheric science and oceanography to the development of fluid dynamics. Hydrodynamics is a branch of classical physics in which important discoveries have been made in the era of Rayleigh, Taylor, Kelvin and Helmholtz. However, recent progress in global measurements using man-made satellites and in large scale computer simulations carried out by scientists in the fields of atmospheric science and oceanography have created new activities in hydrodynamics and produced important new discoveries, such as chaos and strange attractors, localized nonlinear vortices and solitons. As space physics approaches the new era, there should be no reason why space scientists cannot contribute, in a similar manner, to fundamental discoveries in plasma physics in the course of understanding dynamical processes in space plasmas.
Book Synopsis Plasma Physics by : Peter Andrew Sturrock
Download or read book Plasma Physics written by Peter Andrew Sturrock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma Physics presents an authoritative and wide-ranging pedagogic study of the 'fourth' state of matter. The constituents of the plasma state are influenced by electric and magnetic fields, and in turn also produce electric and magnetic fields. This fact leads to a rich array of properties of the plasma state. A basic knowledge of mathematics and physics is preferable to appreciate fully this text. The author uses examples throughout, many taken from astrophysical phenomena, to explain concepts. In addition, problem sets at the end of each chapter will serve to reinforce key points.
Book Synopsis Plasma Instabilities and Nonlinear Effects by : A. Hasegawa
Download or read book Plasma Instabilities and Nonlinear Effects written by A. Hasegawa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the significant progress in satellite-based observations of plasma states and associated electromagnetic phenomena in space has resulted in the accumulation of much evidence of various plasma instabilities. Today plasma instabilities are believed to be responsible for electromagnetic radiation as well as for many of the macroscopic dynamics of plasmas in space. Most students who begin to study plasma physics are intrigued by the unstable nature of plasmas compared with other states of matter; however, they often become frustrated because there are so many in stabilities. Such frustration explains in part why there is no textbook which treats this subject exclusively. A description of plasma instabilities in a systematic way is nontrivial and takes a pertinacious effort. This book is an attempt to provide a basic introduction on the subject and covers most of the important instabilities. However, the author must apologize for any omission of references to contributions of individuals who deserve more credit. The reader is assumed to have a general knowledge of plasma physics obtainable in an undergraduate course. The book is intended to be used as a reference text on the subject of plasma instabilities at the under graduate level as well as for a text in a special course in graduate school. Because the book is part of a series on physics and chemistry in space, emphasis is placed on plasma instabilities relevant in space plasmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exact, non-linearized solutions of the Vlasov equation for a homogeneous, neutral plasma with infinitely heavy ions in the presence of transverse electromagnetic waves are found. The dispersion relation is developed both for stationary waves and for the general initial value problem. For stationary waves the result is analogous to that obtained by Van Kampen in his linearized treatment of the longitudinal plasma oscillations. The initably insignificant in the transverse case. It is proved that no growing wave solutions exist. A distribution function which is consistent with a single wave packet solution of the wave equation, and which propagates subject to an arbitrary root of the dispersion relation, is constructed. The intimate relationship between the initial electron distribution function and the dispersion relations al value problem approach yields results similar to those of Landau but the damping term is probably insignificant in the transverse case. It is proved that no growing wave solutions exist. A distribution function which is consistent with a single wave packet solution of the wave equation, and which propagates subject to an arbitrary root of the dispersion relation, is constructed.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TO THE SECOND EDITION In the nine years since this book was first written, rapid progress has been made scientifically in nuclear fusion, space physics, and nonlinear plasma theory. At the same time, the energy shortage on the one hand and the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn on the other have increased the national awareness of the important applications of plasma physics to energy production and to the understanding of our space environment. In magnetic confinement fusion, this period has seen the attainment 13 of a Lawson number nTE of 2 x 10 cm -3 sec in the Alcator tokamaks at MIT; neutral-beam heating of the PL T tokamak at Princeton to KTi = 6. 5 keV; increase of average ß to 3%-5% in tokamaks at Oak Ridge and General Atomic; and the stabilization of mirror-confined plasmas at Livermore, together with injection of ion current to near field-reversal conditions in the 2XIIß device. Invention of the tandem mirror has given magnetic confinement a new and exciting dimension. New ideas have emerged, such as the compact torus, surface-field devices, and the EßT mirror-torus hybrid, and some old ideas, such as the stellarator and the reversed-field pinch, have been revived. Radiofrequency heat ing has become a new star with its promise of dc current drive. Perhaps most importantly, great progress has been made in the understanding of the MHD behavior of toroidal plasmas: tearing modes, magnetic Vll Vlll islands, and disruptions.
