In closed magnetic field line confinement devices such as the tokamak, non-Maxwellian distortions usually occur as a result of auxiliary heating and transport. In magnetic mirror configurations even the intended steady state plasma is far from local thermodynamic equilibrium because of losses along open magnetic field lines. In both of these major fusion devices, kinetic models based on the Boltzmann equation with Fokker-Planck collision terms have been successful in representing plasma behavior. The heating of plasmas by energetic neutral beams or microwaves, the production and thermalization of a-particles in thermonuclear reactor plasmas, the study of runaway electrons in tokamaks, and the performance of two-energy compo nent fusion reactors are some examples of processes in which the solution of kinetic equations is appropriate and, moreover, generally necessary for an understanding of the plasma dynamics. Ultimately, the problem is to solve a nonlinear partial differential equation for the distributio | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | 关键词 | Plasmas; Potential; collision; differential equation; diffusion; distribution function; equilibrium; magnet | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-85954-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-85956-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-85954-0Series ISSN 1434-8322 Series E-ISSN 2198-2589 | issn_series | 1434-8322 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York Inc. 1986 |
