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 ...
Notes Curvature drift Let us consider a magnetic field B having constant magnitude lBl but its line of forces curved in the space with constant radius of curvature Rc. Eg : B inside ...
Notes Explanation of Boltzmann equation The Boltzmann equation is a fundamental equation in statistical mechanics that describes the behaviour of a system of particles in equilibrium. In the context of plasma physics, the Boltzmann …
Notes Fokker Planck equation In a fully ionized plasma, the collisional is the effect of many small coulomb collisions and usual procedure is to use Fokker planck equation for the collision term.The Fokker-Planck ...
Notes Krook Collision Krook collision, also known as the Krook model or the Krook collision operator, is a simplified model used to describe the collisional processes in a plasma. It is named after ...
Notes Diffusion in fully ionized plasma In a fully ionized plasma, where all atoms have been stripped of their electrons, the diffusion of charged particles is primarily driven by random collisions and interactions between particles. The …
