Resulting from ongoing, international research into fusion
processes, the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER) is
a major step in the quest for a new energy source.The first
graduate-level text to cover the details of ITER, Controlled Fusion
and Plasma Physics introduces various aspects and issues of recent
fusion research activities through the shortest access path.
The distinguished author breaks down the topic by first dealing
with fusion and then concentrating on the more complex subject of
plasma physics. The book begins with the basics of controlled
fusion research, followed by discussions on tokamaks, reversed
field pinch (RFP), stellarators, and mirrors. The text then
explores ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities, resistive
instabilities, neoclassical tearing mode, resistive wall mode, the
Boltzmann equation, the Vlasov equation, and Landau damping. After
covering dielectric tensors of cold and hot plasmas, the author
discusses the physical mechanisms of wave heating and noninductive
current drive. The book concludes with an examination of the
challenging issues of plasma transport by turbulence, such as
magnetic fluctuation and zonal flow.
Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics clearly and thoroughly
promotes intuitive understanding of the developments of the
principal fusion programs and the relevant fundamental and advanced
plasma physics associated with each program.
