A discrete ordinates solution of the Fokker-Planck equation characterizing charged particle transport
(Elsevier, 1980-11-01)
A formalism for obtaining a discrete ordinates solution of the time and space-dependent Fokker-Planck equation governing the transport of charged particles in multispecie plasmas is developed. In the absence of macroscopic ...
Laser heating of a dense plasma pinch
(The American Institute of Physics, 1975-03)
A single fluid, two−temperature, one−dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model has been developed to describe the properties of a linear pinch plasma heated by an axially directed laser beam. The coupling of the laser light ...
Spectral representations for the memory kernel characterizing self-diffusion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1974-11)
Approximate spectral representations are developed for the memory kernel which characterizes self-diffusion. These spectral representations are based upon approximate eigenfunctions constructed via the Rayleigh variational ...
Theory of Self‐Diffusion in Classical Fluids: The Van Hove Self‐Correlation Function G8(r,t)G8(r,t)
(The American Institute of Physics, 1970-09)
Projection operator techniques have been applied to study the diffusion of a test particle in a classical many‐particle system such as a liquid or a plasma. Particular attention has been directed towards the calculation ...
A comparison of projection operator formalisms for the study of self-diffusion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1973-11)
The utility of projection operator formalisms for describing the dynamics of many-body systems is studied, and the compatibility of these formalisms with certain approximation schemes is evaluated in the light of known ...
Numerical studies of exploding‐wire plasmas
(The American Institute of Physics, 1974-04)
A plasma created by exploding a thin lithium wire in a vacuum is analyzed using a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. The two‐temperature MHD equations including finite thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity are ...
Theory of light scattering from dense plasmas
(The American Institute of Physics, 1973-05)
Projection operator techniques have been applied to derive a coupled set of exact kinetic equations describing microscopic density fluctuations in an infinite, fully‐ionized, classical plasma in thermal equilibrium. The ...
Ionization and radiation dynamics of carbon ablation plasmas
(The American Institute of Physics, 1987-08-15)
A computational model that can be used for studying the ablation physics of medium z targets by ion beams is presented. In particular, the interaction of a proton beam as it heats and ablates a carbon target is analyzed. ...
Ionization and radiation dynamics of dense MHD plasmas
(The American Institute of Physics, 1978-08)
The ionization and radiation dynamics of dense magnetohydrodynamic plasmas has been modeled in a fashion suitable for implementation in MHD computer simulation codes. It has been shown that more restrictive LTE models such ...
A microscopic theory of density fluctuations in partially ionized gases (e.m. wave scattering)
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1973-07-01)
This investigation develops a set of exact kinetic equations describing density fluctuations in many body systems with S species. These equations are then applied to the analysis of a partially ionized gas with three ...
