Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wave Propagation in a Plasma Based on the Cold Plasma Model The study of wave propagation originated decades ago with the examination of radio wave propagation in the ionosphere. Once the cold plasma conductivity tensor is developed, the problem reduces to a study of Maxwell's equations with the specified conductivity tensor. By far, the bulk of the work done in this field has been based on geometric optics or plane stratified medium approximations. Neither of these approximations is particularly valid in many typical laboratory plasma applications at moderately low frequencies and moderately long wavelengths. Additionally, the appearance of resonances and the associated plasma heating brings into question the relevance of the simple cold plasma model. Here, we intend to examine fairly generally the consequences of the cold plasma model for wave propagation problems. We intend to compare the situation in a plasma with the better known problems of scattering of waves in electromagnetic theory or in quantum mechanics. Our attack on this problem is based on an examination of the system of partial differential equations that defines the wave propagation problem. We will not be able to give definitive answers to many of the questions we raise, as the problems appear far beyond current knowledge. We will show that waves in plasmas behave, in many cases, quite unlike the much simpler version of waves in ordinary electromagnetic theory or in quantum mechanics. We believe that the questions we raise must be addressed directly to obtain reliable, quantitative measures of ion cyclotron or lower hybrid wave heating and model patterns in a plasma device. Any direct numerical calculations face immediately the problems posed here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Plasma Waves written by D.G. Swanson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma Waves discusses the basic development and equations for the many aspects of plasma waves. The book is organized into two major parts, examining both linear and nonlinear plasma waves in the eight chapters it encompasses. After briefly discussing the properties and applications of plasma wave, the book goes on examining the wave types in a cold, magnetized plasma and the general forms of the dispersion relation that characterize the waves and label the various types of solutions. Chapters 3 and 4 analyze the acoustic phenomena through the fluid model of plasma and the kinetic effects. These chapters also describe the averaging process for the fluid element motion using expanded Boltzmann equation for each species in a velocity moment expansion, truncating the expansion at some suitable level, depending on the particular problem. The remaining four chapters discuss the effects of adding sharp boundaries, slowly varying inhomogeneities, nonlinearities at several levels, and turbulent plasmas. Supplementary texts on complex variables and the special functions in plasma physics are provided in the concluding section of this text. The book is an advanced text for graduate students who have had an introductory plasma course at some level.
Download or read book Plasma Waves written by Donald Gary Swanson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extended and revised, Plasma Waves, 2nd Edition provides essential information on basic formulas and categorizes the various possible types of waves and their interactions. The book includes modern and complete treatments of electron cyclotron emission, collisions, relativistic effects, Landau damping, quasilinear and nonlinear wave theory, and tunneling equations. The broad scope encompasses waves in cold, warm, and hot plasmas and relativistic plasma waves. Special chapters deal with the effects of boundaries, inhomogeneities, and nonlinear effects. The author derives all formulae and describes several fundamental wave experiments, allowing for a greater appreciation of the subject.
Download or read book Nonlinear Evolution of Longitudinal Plasma Waves written by Young-Ping Pao and published by Legare Street Press. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Youngping Pao presents an original theory of nonlinear wave propagation in plasma. He explains how longitudinal waves, which are ubiquitous in plasma physics, can undergo nonlinear evolution and become solitons - self-reinforcing waves that maintain their shape and intensity as they propagate. Pao's theory has important implications for a wide range of fields, from astrophysics to fusion research. His clear and concise writing style makes the book accessible to students and researchers alike. It is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in plasma physics or nonlinear dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves and Oscillations in Plasmas addresses central issues in modern plasma sciences, within the context of general classical physics. The book is working gradually from an introductory to an advanced level. Addressing central issues in modern plasma sciences, including linear and nonlinear wave phenomena, this second edition has been fully updated and includes the latest developments in relevant fluid models as well as kinetic plasma models, including a detailed discussion of, for instance, collisionless Landau damping, linear as well as non-linear. The book is the result of many years of lecturing plasma sciences in Norway, Denmark, Germany, and also at the Unites States of America. Offering a clear separation of linear and nonlinear models, the book can be tailored for students of varying levels of expertise in plasma physics, in addition to areas as diverse as the space sciences, laboratory experiments, plasma processing, and more. Features: Presents a simple physical interpretation of basic problems is presented where possible Supplies a complete summary of classical papers and textbooks placed in the proper context Includes worked examples, exercises, and problems with general applicability

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text presented here is an extended english version of a report by the authors which appeared in April 1983 at the Institute of Cosmical Research of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in German. It covers several selected topics on nonlinear wave-plasma interactio,ll in a treatment based on a hydrodynamic plasma description. Thus, no attempt has been made to give a comprehensive view on all aspects of the interaction of strong electromagnetic waves with plasmas. The text is partly introductory and presents partly current results. The authors hope that it will be of interest to students and scientists not only in the field of plasma physics. The authors thank Akademie-Verlag, Berlin and Birkhiiuser-Verlag, Basel for their encouragement to prepare the English manuscript and Mrs. Ch. Geier for carefully typing the final off-set version.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nonlinear Evolution of Longitudinal Plasma Waves However there appear several logical gaps in the analyses of Ref. 9. The most serious gap is the neglect of the inertial term in the non-resonant region, which leads to a direct violation of the Poisson's equation. A detailed discussion of this point is given in Section VII. The integration constant for the lowest order resonant layer solution in Ref. 9 is also in error, which directly affects the final result for the nonlinear decay rate.
