Introduction to Plasma Physics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Introduction to Plasma Physics presents the latest on plasma physics. Although plasmas are not very present in our immediate environment, there are still universal phenomena that we encounter, i.e., electric shocks and galactic jets. This book presents, in parallel, the basics of plasma theory and a number of applications to laboratory plasmas or natural plasmas. It provides a fresh look at concepts already addressed in other disciplines, such as pressure and temperature. In addition, the information provided helps us understand the links between fluid theories, such as MHD and the kinetic theory of these media, especially in wave propagation.

• Presents the different phenomena that make up plasma physics
• Explains the basics of plasma theory
• Helps readers comprehend the various concepts related to plasmas
