The book explains how magnetized plasmas self-organize in states of electromagnetic turbulence that transports particles and energy out of the core plasma faster than anticipated by the fusion scientists designing magnetic confinement systems in the 20th century. It describes theory, experiments and simulations in a unified and up-to-date presentation of the issues of achieving nuclear fusion power.

Contents:

  • Basic Concepts and Historical Background
  • Alfvén and Drift Waves in Plasmas
  • Mechanisms for Drift Waves
  • Two-Component Magnetohydrodynamics
  • Laboratory Experiments for Drift Waves
  • Magnetohydrodynamics and Magnetic Confinement Geometries
  • Laboratory Plasma Experiments for Waves and Transport
  • Turbulence Theory for Drift and Alfvén Waves
  • Impurity Transport Studies
  • Coherent Structures in Plasmas
  • Fluctuating Magnetic Fields and Chaotic Orbits
  • Toroidal Confinement Systems
  • Temperature Gradient Driven Instabilities
  • Electron Temperature Gradient Driven Turbulence
  • Magnetic Reconnection Instabilities
  • Ignition Physics in Multiscale Plasma Turbulence
  • Rotational Instabilities
  • Transport Simulations with Multiscale Codes for Internal Transport Barrier Formation
  • Gyrokinetic Simulations of Drift Wave Turbulence

Readership: Graduate students, researchers and academics interested in confinement of plasmas, instabilities, transport and turbulence in plasmas.
Key Features:

  • The theory, experiments and simulations are explained in a unified presentation
  • Details of the large fusion tokamak systems are explained
