Advances in Plasma Physics Research, Hardcover by Gerard, Francois (EDT), ISBN 1590339282, ISBN-13 9781590339282, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UKThese ten papers describe recent advances in plasma physics achieved by Russian, Central Asian, Indian, and Chinese researchers. Initial topics addressed include nonlinear hydromagnetic surface waves instability in porous media, microwave heating of the dense plasma in the epsilon device, the proportional discharge mechanism in nonelectronegative gases, shock wave surfing acceleration, observations of superluminescence in argon plasma by means of acoustic waves, and the role of complex magnitudes in plasma electrodynamics. Other subjects covered include electron gas oscillations in plasma theory and applications, effects of suction and injection on magnetohydrodynamic heat transfer in stagnation point flow with variable body temperature, and multiharmonic treatment of non-resonant growing of electromagnetic wave amplified by energetic electrons with ring-beam distribution.
