Turbulent Transport In Magnetized Plasmas (Hardcover, Second Edition): C Wendell Horton, Jr Turbulent Transport In Magnetized Plasmas (Hardcover, Second Edition)
C Wendell Horton, Jr
R4,826 Discovery Miles 48 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

For a few seconds with large machines, scientists and engineers have now created the fusion power of the stars in the laboratory and at the same time find the rich range of complex turbulent electromagnetic waves that transport the plasma confinement systems. The turbulent transport mechanisms created in the laboratory are explained in detail in the second edition of 'Turbulent Transport in Magnetized Plasmas' by Professor Horton.The principles and properties of the major plasma confinement machines are explored with basic physics to the extent currently understood. For the observational laws that are not understood - the empirical confinement laws - offering challenges to the next generation of plasma students and researchers - are explained in detail. An example, is the confinement regime - called the 'I-mode' - currently a hot topic - is explored.Numerous important problems and puzzles for the next generation of plasma scientists are explained. There is growing demand for new simulation codes utilizing the massively parallel computers with MPI and GPU methods. When the 20 billion dollar ITER machine is tested in the 2020ies, new theories and faster/smarter computer simulations running in near real-time control systems will be used to control the burning hydrogen plasmas.

Iter Physics (Hardcover): C Wendell Horton, Jr, Sadruddin Benkadda Iter Physics (Hardcover)
C Wendell Horton, Jr, Sadruddin Benkadda
R2,634 Discovery Miles 26 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The promise of a vast and clean source of thermal power drove physics research for over fifty years and has finally come to collimation with the international consortium led by the European Union and Japan, with an agreement from seven countries to build a definitive test of fusion power in ITER. It happened because scientists since the Manhattan project have envisioned controlled nuclear fusion in obtaining energy with no carbon dioxide emissions and no toxic nuclear waste products.This large toroidal magnetic confinement ITER machine is described from confinement process to advanced physics of plasma-wall interactions, where pulses erupt from core plasma blistering the machine walls. Emissions from the walls reduce the core temperature which must remain ten times hotter than the 15 million degree core solar temperature to maintain ITER fusion power. The huge temperature gradient from core to wall that drives intense plasma turbulence is described in detail.Also explained are the methods designed to limit the growth of small magnetic islands, the growth of edge localized plasma plumes and the solid state physics limits of the stainless steel walls of the confinement vessel from the burning plasma. Designs of the wall coatings and the special 'exhaust pipe' for spent hot plasma are provided in two chapters. And the issues associated with high-energy neutrons - about 10 times higher than in fission reactions - and how they are managed in ITER, are detailed.
