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 …
Notes Diffusion across the magnetic field The diffusion coefficient in a plasma can be influenced by the presence of a magnetic field. The behaviour of charged particles, such as electrons and ions, in a magnetic field ...
Notes Tokamak In a tokamak, the plasma is the central component of the device. It is a state of matter consisting of highly ionized gas composed of positively charged ions and negatively ...
Notes Plasma oscillations and Landau damping Mathematically, Landau damping is described by the Vlasov equation, which is a kinetic equation that describes the evolution of the distribution function of particles in phase space. The Vlasov …
