DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5e4ba7d2/high_temperature_p) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "High Temperature Plasmas: Theory and Mathematical Tools for Laser and Fusion Plasmas" to their offering.
Filling the gap for a treatment of the subject as an advanced course in theoretical physics with a huge potential for future applications, this monograph discusses aspects of these applications and provides theoretical methods and tools for their investigation. Throughout this coherent and up-to-date work the main emphasis is on classical plasmas at high-temperatures, drawing on the experienced author's specialist background. As such, it covers the key areas of magnetic fusion plasma, laser-plasma-interaction and astrophysical plasmas, while also including nonlinear waves and phenomena.
For master and PhD students as well as researchers interested in the theoretical foundations of plasma models.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Introduction
2 Single Particle Motion
3 Plasma in Thermodynamic Equilibrium
4 Kinetic Description of Nonequilibrium Plasmas
5 Fluid Description
6 Principles of Linear and Stochastic Transport
7 Linear Waves and Instabilities
8 General Theory of Nonlinear Waves and Solitons
9 Nonlinear Wave Aspects in Laser-Matter Interaction
Appendix A Units
Appendix B Fourier and Laplace Transforms for Pedestrians
Appendix C The Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) for Nonlinear Waves
Appendix D Lie Transform Techniques for Eliminating Fast Variations
Appendix E Choices of Low-Dimensional Basis Systems
Appendix F Center Manifold Theory
Appendix G Newell-Whitehead Procedure
Appendix H Liapunov Stability
Appendix I Variational Principles
Appendix J Self-Adjointness of the Operator
Appearing in Hydromagnetic Variational Principles
