pYL730 : plasma Theory and Simulations
[edit]PYL205, For M. Tech. (Physics) and PhD (Physics): NIL, For OE: UG/M.Sc. - PYL205/PYL552, PhD - NIL Basic concepts (notion of collective plasma behaviour, Debye shielding etc.), charged particle drifts and numerical techniques to follow particle trajectories in crossed electric and magnetic fields, fluid and kinetic model descriptions for plasmas, plasma as a dielectric, linear normal modes (concept of electrostatic and electromagnetic, un- Courses of Study 2024-2025 Physics 304magnetized and magnetised modes) and fundamental instabilities (Rayleigh Taylor, Kelvin Helmholtz and beam driven), introduction to fluid and particle simulation techniques for one dimensional problems, recovering dispersion relation of normal modes (electron plasma, ion acoustic etc.) and growth rate for two stream instability through simulations, illustration of nonlinear effects through simulations, transport properties of plasmas (e.g. diffusion and resistivity etc.) and their relevance in confinement.
