Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics clearly and thoroughly promotes intuitive understanding of the developments of the principal fusion programs, including ITER, and the relevant fundamental and advanced plasma physics associated with each program. The book first discusses the basics of controlled fusion research, followed by discussions on tokamaks, reversed field pinch, stellarators, and mirrors. The text then explores ideal magnetohydrodynamic instabilities, resistive instabilities, the Boltzmann equation, the Vlasov equation, and Landau damping. After covering dielectric tensors of cold and hot plasmas, the author describes the physical mechanisms of wave heating and noninductive current drive as well as plasma transport by turbulence
