Plasma and Fluid Turbulence:Theory and Modeling
A. Yoshizawa, S.I. Itoh, K. Itoh
Résumé
The Series in Plasma Physics is an international series that meets the need for up-to-date texts in this rapidly developing field. Books in the series range in level from introductory monographs and practical handbooks to more advanced expositions of current research. Spanning both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, topics covered include: magnetohydrodynamics and kinetic theory, waves and instabilities, magnetic and inertial confinement fusion, electron, ion and photon acceleration and heating, transport, turbulence, nonlinear plasma physics, dusty plasma physics, diagnostics, plasma processing and plasma simulation.
The primary theme of this book by Professors Itoh and Yoshizawa is to illustrate the underlying ideas describing turbulence. Turbulent transport and structural transitions in plasmas and fluids. In addition to enhancing our theoretical understanding of these phenomena those theories are fundamental to modern engineering and technological applications.
In this detailed book, theory and modelling methodologies of turbulence phenomena and turbulent transport in both fluids and plasmas a re explained in depth. Special attention is paid to inhomogeneous and non-equilibrium properties of turbulence. By comparing and contrasting turbulence in fluids and plasmas, the authors demonstrate the fundamental basic physical principles common to both, whilst particular differences are highlighted, for example, through the role of long-range interaction due to electromagnetic fields.
Part I provides introduction to turbulence and structural formation in fluids and plasmas. Methodologies for fluid turbulence are explained in Part II. Par till is devoted to subjects in magnetohydrodynamics. in particular dynamo problems. Plasma turbulence and transport are discussed in Part IV.
