Editorial Review Product Description Assuming no prior knowledge of plasma physics or numerical methods, Computational Methods in Plasma Physics covers the computational mathematics and techniques needed to simulate magnetically confined plasmas in modern magnetic fusion experiments and future magnetic fusion reactors. Largely self-contained, the text presents the basic concepts necessary for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Along with discussing numerical stability and accuracy, the author explores many of the algorithms used today in enough depth so that readers can analyze their stability, efficiency, and scaling properties. He focuses on mathematical models where the plasma is treated as a conducting fluid, since this is the most mature plasma model and most applicable to experiments. The book also emphasizes toroidal confinement geometries, particularly the tokamak—a very successful configuration for confining a high-temperature plasma. Many of the basic numerical techniques presented are also appropriate for equations encountered in a higher-dimensional phase space. One of the most challenging research areas in modern science is to develop suitable algorithms that lead to stable and accurate solutions that can span relevant time and space scales. This book provides an excellent working knowledge of the algorithms used by the plasma physics community, helping readers on their way to more advanced study. |

Editorial Review Product Description Fundamentals of Plasma Physics is a general introduction designed to present a comprehensive, logical and unified treatment of the fundamentals of plasma physics based on statistical kinetic theory, with applications to a variety of important plasma phenomena. Its clarity and completeness makes the text suitable for self-learning and for self-paced courses. Throughout the text the emphasis is on clarity, rather than formality, the various derivations are explained in detail and, wherever possible, the physical interpretations are emphasized. The mathematical treatment is set out in great detail, carrying out the steps which are usually left to the reader. The problems form an integral part of the text and most of them were designed in such a way as to provide a guideline, stating intermediate steps with answers. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description Nonthermal plasma science and technology are rapidly developing, but information on both subjects has been scattered until now. Nonthermal Plasma Chemistry and Physics provides a comprehensive presentation of the basics of plasma physics as well as new developments in the rapidly growing field of nonthermal plasma chemistry. The book offers a detailed discussion of the fundamental elementary processes in plasma chemistry. Expert contributors address environmental aspects of plasma chemistry and how plasma chemistry can comply with the Kyoto protocol. The book also includes particular plasma conditions and specific applications in microelectronics and more. |

Editorial Review Product Description This book is written by an experimentalist and covers all aspects of plasma physics at an introductory level. The fundamental concepts of plasma description are developed in a bottom-up approach of increasing mathematical complexity. The intuitive understanding of the concepts is emphasized. Different from most introductory texts, low-temperature plasmas, plasma discharges and plasma diagnostics get a much larger share. Controlled nuclear fusion is introduced and magnetic confinement is discussed at a simple level. Novel plasma phenomena as found in complex (dusty) plasmas are described. A large number of illustrations, worked out problems with solutions, and short summaries of the basics of each chapter make this text a companion for undergraduate and graduate students and a useful reference on the bookshelf. |

Contemporary introduction to fluids and plasmas
Wonderful Text.
From a student of Steve Balbus...
Useful addition to a fluid dynamics library Thebook begins with a sketch of the kinetic theory derivation of the NavierStokes equations, beginning with the Hamilton equations, and moving throughLiouville's theorem, the Boltzmann equation, and taking the BGKapproximation.It is only a sketch, not a full scale tutorial on kinetictheory, but I believe something along these lines does belong in any fluiddynamics course taught by a physics department.(Such courses are sadlyuncommon.) The continuum derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations ispresented next, and I find it weak.I prefer the systematic,integral-based approaches found in books by, e.g., Panton and Kundu.Thereis NO discussion of the deformation (a.k.a. strain rate) tensor and theCauchy-Stokes decomposition. There are brief discussions of some standardflows (e.g, potential flow around a cylinder, viscous Poiseuille flow,aerodynamic lift) and a brief discussion of boundary layers. Theremaining fluid dynamics chapters are on gas dynamics, waves andinstabilities, turbulence, and rotation.The turbulence chapter is thebest short introduction to Kolmogorov's -5/3 law that I've found; a goodpreface to reading the chapter on turbulence in other intro books, or evena dedicated turbulence book like Frisch. The remaining 7 chapters of thebook are on plasma physics, including magnetohydrodynamics (I'm not anexpert here, so I won't comment on them). The book was favorably reviewedin "Comtemporary Physics" and "Journal of FluidMechanics", both reviewers praising the author's "engagingstyle" but expressing disappointment at the lack of more specialtopics in astrophysics. As long as a reader does not study this book inisolation, though, I think this would be an excellent supplement to his orher studies.I took this book with me on a vacation and enjoyed thereading.
A great book for the beginers. |
