Course Contents
Section 1
介绍 This section introduces the definition and basic characteristics of plasma.
Section 2
单粒子轨道理论
This section discusses the motion of a single charged particle in
background magnetic and electric fields.
Section 3
磁 流 体 力 学
This section introduces the basic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
equations which describe plasma as an ionized fluid.
Section 4
等 离 子 体 波 This section covers plasma waves: their dispersion relations and
different properties.
Section 5
等离子体扩散和电阻 This section addresses the diffusion in plasmas and plasma
resistivity due to particle collision
Section 6
等离子体不稳定性 This section discusses the concept of plasma equilibrium and
instability. It will also introduce several typical instabilities in plasmas.
Section 7
动 力 学 理 论
This section introduces the kinetic plasma description, including
Boltzmann equation, Vlasov equation, and their connection with MHD.
Section 8
非连续性和激 波 This section introduces discontinuities in space and shock
waves
Section 9
非 线 性 过 程 This section briefly introduces some nonlinear effects in plasma
physics.
Section 10
碰撞过程 This section introduces some of the collisional processes in plasma.
