Magnetically confined fusion plasma physics : ideal MHD theory /

This book describes the ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Advanced topics are presented in attempting to fill the gap between the up-to-date research developments and plasma physics textbooks. Nevertheless, they are self-contained and trackable with the mathe...
