Magnetically confined fusion plasma physics. Volume 2, Multifluid theory /

This second volume title presents a review of the state-of-the-art theory and application of magnetically confined plasma physics. The book covers three major topics: the Braginskii transport theory, the newly developed perpendicular magnetofluid theory, and the fluid-kinetic hybrid theories. In gre...
