By Jeffrey P. Freidberg
Finished, self-contained, and obviously written, this successor to perfect Magnetohydrodynamics (1987) describes the macroscopic equilibrium and balance of hot temperature plasmas - the fundamental gasoline for the advance of fusion strength. Now absolutely up-to-date, this e-book discusses the underlying actual assumptions for 3 uncomplicated MHD versions: perfect, kinetic, and double-adiabatic MHD. integrated are unique analyses of MHD equilibrium and balance, with a specific concentrate on 3 key configurations on the state-of-the-art of fusion learn: the tokamak, stellarator, and reversed box pinch. different new issues comprise continuum damping, MHD balance comparability theorems, neoclassical delivery in stellarators, and the way quasi-omnigeneity, quasi-symmetry, and quasi-isodynamic constraints influence the layout of optimized stellarators. together with complete derivations of just about each very important end result, in-depth actual causes all through, and a number of challenge units to aid grasp the cloth, this is often an outstanding source for graduate scholars and researchers in plasma and fusion physics.
