As the twenty-first century progresses, plasma technology will play
an increasing role in our lives, providing new sources of energy,
ion-plasma processing of materials, wave electromagnetic radiation
sources, space plasma thrusters, and more. Studies of the plasma
state of matter not only accelerate technological developments but
also improve the understanding of natural phenomena. Beginning with
an introduction to the characteristics and types of plasmas,
Introduction to Plasma Dynamics covers the basic models of
classical diffuse plasmas used to describe such phenomena as linear
and shock waves, stationary flows, elements of plasma chemistry,
and principles of plasma lasers. The author presents specific
examples to demonstrate how to use the models and to familiarize
readers with modern plasma technologies. The book describes
structures of magnetic fields-one- and zero-dimensional plasma
models. It considers single-, two-, and multi-component simulation
models, kinetics and ionization processes, radiation transport, and
plasma interaction with solid surfaces. The text also examines
self-organization and general problems associated with
instabilities in plasma systems. In addition, it discusses cosmic
plasma dynamic systems, such as Earth's magnetosphere, spiral
nebulas, and plasma associated with the Sun. This text provides
wide-range coverage of issues related to plasma dynamics, with a
final chapter addressing advanced plasma technologies, including
plasma generators, plasma in the home, space propulsion engines,
and controlled thermonuclear fusion. It demonstrates how to
approach the analysis of complex plasma systems, taking into
account the diversity of plasma environments. Presenting a
well-rounded introduction to plasma dynamics, the book takes into
consideration the models of plasma phenomena and their
relationships to one another as well as their applications.
