The purpose of the book is to allow the student to master the basic concepts of plasma physics and to bring him or her up to date in a number of relevant areas of current research. Topics covered include orbit theory, kinetic theory, fluid models, magnetohydrodynamics, MHD turbulence, instabilities, discontinuities, and magnetic reconnection. Some prior knowledge of classical physics is required, in particular fluid mechanics, statistical physics, and electrodynamics. The mathematical developments are self-contained and explicitly detailed in the text. A number of exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, together with suggestions and solutions.UNITEXT for Physics,2198-7882Plasma (Ionized gases)AstrophysicsSpace sciencesStatistical physicsDynamicsFluidsPlasma Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Fluid- and Aerodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Plasma (Ionized gases)Astrophysics.Space sciences.Statistical physics.Dynamics.Fluids.Plasma Physics.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Complex Systems.Fluid- and Aerodynamics.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.530.44Chiuderi Claudioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut45733Velli Marcoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300418503321Basics of Plasma Astrophysics2533450UNINA
