About this book

This opening volume of a three-part series lays out the concepts, mathematical models and methods that underpin plasma dynamics and self-organisation. It is intended for those working in plasma physics, fusion research and plasma astrophysics.

Here the physical kinetics of plasma turbulence is worked out with quasi-particle ideas. The route runs from the kinetic equation through resonant wave-particle exchanges, nonlinear damping of Landau type and the creation of zonal flows.

Readers get worked derivations, figures and problem sets, and every chapter closes with a recap. The author links plasma wave turbulence to fluid turbulence theory and carries the treatment into collisionless phase space.
