IOP Publishing Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasma Physics, Volume 2: Multifluid theory (IOP ebooks)

This second volume title presents a review of the state-of-the-art theory and application of magnetically confined plasma physics. The book covers three major topics: the Braginskii transport theory, the newly developed perpendicular magnetofluid theory, and the fluid-kinetic hybrid theories. In greater detail, the perpendicular magnetofluid theory is examined, along with the equilibrium and stability analyses. The book provides an advanced review on the state-of-the-art theory and application of magnetically confined plasma physics and is an essential reference for students and researchers in this field. Key Features Updated review of the theory and applications of magnetically confined plasma physics. Self-contained yet advanced book, essential for students and researchers. About the Author Dr Linjin Zheng is a research scientist at the Institute of Fusion Studies, University of Texas at Austin. He has edited one and authored three books on the physics of fusion plasmas. His research results cover a wide range of topics in the field.
