CRC Press Non-Linear Instabilities in Plasmas and Hydrodynamics

Non-Linear Instabilities in Plasmas and Hydrodynamics, part of the Series in Plasma Physics by CRC Press, provides a comprehensive look at the physics of fast secondary instabilities. This introductory book covers the fundamental ideas of secondary or induced, nonlinear instabilities within wave-sustaining media. Written by world-renowned experts, this text consolidates research from various scientific papers into a single, organized resource. It explores a wide range of complex subjects, including fluctuation chaos, wave-turbulent instabilities, and vortex dynamos. Readers will also find detailed explanations regarding beam-plasma interactions and plasma confinement. This book is an essential resource for those studying the underlying physics of nonlinear phenomena in plasma and hydrodynamic systems.
