Plasma Transport Theory
22.616 · Nuclear Science and Engineering · Graduate · Fall 2003
Prof. Kim Molvig
<p>This course describes the processes by which mass, momentum, and energy are transported in plasmas, with special reference to magnetic confinement fusion applications.</p> <p>The Fokker-Planck collision operator and its limiting forms, as well as collisional relaxation and equilibrium, are considered in detail. Special applications include a Lorentz gas, Brownian motion, alpha particles, and runaway electrons.</p> <p>The Braginskii formulation of classical collisional transport in general ge…
