Stellarator and Heliotron Devices - Couverture rigide

Wakatani, Masahiro

 
9780195078312: Stellarator and Heliotron Devices

Synopsis

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.

Revue de presse

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)
