Infos

This book describes the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory for magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Advanced topics are presented in an attempt to fill the gap between up-to-date research developments and plasma physics textbooks. Each topic is self-contained and trackable, with the mathematical treatments detailed and underlying physics explained. Both analytical theories and numerical schemes are also provided, and the current research developments in this field as well as the future prospects are discussed.

Autor

Linjin Zheng is a theoretical physicist for controlled thermonuclear fusion plasmas. He received his PhD from the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He is currently working at the Institute for Fusion Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. His major contributions, with his colleagues, include the reformulation of gyrokinetic theory, development of the theoretical interpretation for the so-called edge localized modes, invention of the free boundary ballooning representation, discoveries of 2nd toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes and current interchange tearing modes.
