Titre(s) : Turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas [Texte électronique] / Wendell Horton
Publication : Hackenssack, New Jersey ; Singapore : World Scientific Publishing Company, [2012]
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xvi, 501 pages)
Note(s) : 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.
