Turbulence and instabilities in magnetised plasmas. Volume 1, Fluid drift turbulence /

Ever since the first observations of turbulent fluctuations in laboratory plasma experiments in the years around 1980, turbulence in magnetised plasmas has been a subject of vigorous interest in the field of plasma physics and magnetic confinement. The first of a two-volume set, this book begins wit...
