The Plasma Boundary of Magnetic Fusion Devices Hardback
by P.C (University of Toronto, Canada) Stangeby
Part of the Series in Plasma Physics series
Hardback
Description
The Plasma Boundary of Magnetic Fusion Devices introduces the physics of the plasma boundary region, including plasma-surface interactions, with an emphasis on those occurring in magnetically confined fusion plasmas.
The book covers plasma-surface interaction, Debye sheaths, sputtering, scrape-off layers, plasma impurities, recycling and control, 1D and 2D fluid and kinetic modeling of particle transport, plasma properties at the edge, diverter and limiter physics, and control of the plasma boundary. Divided into three parts, the book begins with Part 1, an introduction to the plasma boundary.
The derivations are heuristic and worked problems help crystallize physical intuition, which is emphasized throughout.
Part 2 provides an introduction to methods of modeling the plasma edge region and for interpreting computer code results.
Part 3 presents a collection of essays on currently active research hot topics. With an extensive bibliography and index, this book is an invaluable first port-of-call for researchers interested in plasma-surface interactions.
