Notes Rayleigh-Taylor of Gravitational instability The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a fluid instability that occurs at the interface between two fluids of different densities when the heavier fluid is supported by the lighter fluid. This …
Notes Theoretical details for two stream instability The two-stream instability is a fundamental concept in plasma physics that describes an instability arising from the interaction between two counter-propagating beams or streams of charged particles. …
Notes Lower hybrid frequencies in the studies of waves in plasma In a plasma, which is a collection of charged particles, different types of waves can occur, such as electromagnetic waves and plasma waves. The behavior of these waves depends on ...
Notes Validity of plasma Approximation ELI5: Imagine you have a group of very tiny particles, like the ones you can't even see with your eyes. These particles can have positive or negative charges, like little ...
Notes Lattice energy of Ionic crystal from Born Theory The lattice energy of an ionic crystal is a measure of the strength of the electrostatic forces holding the ions together in the crystal lattice. Born's theory, also known as ...
Notes The single fluid Magnetohydrodynamics equation The single-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations describe the behavior of a magnetized plasma as a single fluid. They combine the equations of fluid dynamics with Maxwell's equations to account …
Notes Electrostatic ion cyclotron The term "electrostatic ion cyclotron" refers to a type of plasma wave that arises due to the interaction between ions and an electrostatic field in a magnetized plasma. This wave ...
Notes Alfven wave in plasma An Alfven wave is a type of plasma wave that occurs in magnetized plasmas. It was first described by the Swedish physicist Hannes Alfvén, who won the Nobel Prize in ...
