Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromagnetic waves can be severely attenuated and suffer distortion as they propagate through partially ionized gases. These facts must be considered in the design of any communication system in which waves must propagate through an intervening plasma medium, such as in reentry communications and ionospheric propagation. In this report, formulas are given that can predict such wave attenuation characteristics more accurately and for a much wider range of plasma conditions than previous theories. The conventional Appleton-Hartree equation used in ionospheric propagation studies gives the index of refraction of a wave traveling through a plasma in a magnetic field in terms of the properties of the plasma. This conventional Appleton-Hartree formula neglects important effects such as the random thermal motion of the particles, which can produce nonlocal effects. Also, the energy dependence of the electron-neutral collision frequency can alter the nature of the wave attenuation process. A generalization of the Appleton-Hartree equation is made to include these effects and to account for the Coulomb forces between charged particles. A kinetic equation is solved which includes the effects of energy-dependent electron-neutral collisions, Coulomb encounters and spatial dispersion. The perturbation method used in solving the kinetic equation assumes that the effects of Coulomb encounters and spatial dispersion are dominant, and electron-neutral collisions are relatively infrequent.

This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive textbook on the foundational principles of plasmas, including material on advanced topics and related disciplines such as optics, fluid dynamics, and astrophysics Foundations of Plasma Physics for Physicists and Mathematicians covers the basic physics underlying plasmas and describes the methodology and techniques used in both plasma research and other disciplines such as optics and fluid mechanics. Designed to help readers develop physical understanding and mathematical competence in the subject, this rigorous textbook discusses the underlying theoretical foundations of plasma physics as well as a range of specific problems, focused on those principally associated with fusion. Reflective of the development of plasma physics, the text first introduces readers to the collective and collisional behaviors of plasma, the single particle model, wave propagation, the kinetic effects of gases and plasma, and other foundational concepts and principles. Subsequent chapters cover topics including the hydrodynamic limit of plasma, ideal magneto-hydrodynamics, waves in MHD plasmas, magnetically confined plasma, and waves in magnetized hot and cold plasma. Written by an acknowledged expert with more than five decades’ active research experience in the field, this authoritative text: Identifies and emphasizes the similarities and differences between plasmas and fluids Describes the different types of interparticle forces that influence the collective behavior of plasma Demonstrates and stresses the importance of coherent and collective effects in plasma Contains an introduction to interactions between laser beams and plasma Includes supplementary sections on the basic models of low temperature plasma and the theory of complex variables and Laplace transforms Foundations of Plasma Physics for Physicists and Mathematicians is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in plasma physics, and a valuable compendium for physicists working in plasma physics and fluid mechanics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model of plasma oscillations in the presence of small angle collisions is presented which admits of exact analytic solution. Certain features of the true collsion terms are preserved. Namely, the effect of collisions is represented by a diffusion in velocity space, which makes the distribution function tend to the Maxwell distribution, and which conserves the number of particles. In the limit of infrequent collisions the results of Landau are recovered.
