This book systematically introduces plasma physics that will enable nuclear fusion for continous energy production. Especially emphasized is the nonaxissymmetric toroidal field, invented and developed at Kyoto University. All aspects required for the magnetic confinement, formation of magnetic surface, magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability, single charged particle confinement, neoclassical transport and plasma heating are covered. Wakatani also includes experiments and considers the prospects for next generation devices.

For the laboratory plasma physicist, for whom it is written, this volume will surely be of great value...It is also salutory to be reminded just how sophisticated fusion research as become, driven by the combination of theory and experiment. (Leon Mestel, The Observatory Magazine, Feb 1999)

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This monograph describes plasma physics for magnetic confinement of high temperature plasmas in nonaxisymmetric toroidal magnetic fields or stellarators. The techniques are aimed at controlling nuclear fusion for continuous energy production. While the focus is on the nonaxisymmetric toroidal field, or heliotron, developed at Kyoto University, the physics applies equally to other stellarators and axisymmetric tokamaks. The author covers all aspects of magneticconfinement, formation of magnetic surfaces, magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability, single charged particle confinement, neoclassical transport and plasma heating. He also reviews recentexperiments and the prospects for the next generation of devices. This monograph contains all aspects of plasma physics for plasma confinement in stellarator and heliotron devices. Present achievements and prospects for next generation devices are included. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780195078312
