Explore: Collisionless Plasma

this criterion is satisfied, the plasma is quasineutral. Collisionlessness: The electron plasma frequency (measuring plasma oscillations of the electrons)

In plasma physics, the Vlasov equation is a differential equation describing time evolution of the distribution function of collisionless plasma consisting

collection is to include the magnetic field effects and plasma flow effects. Assuming a collisionless plasma, electrons and ions gyrate around magnetic field

frequency of interest ω {\displaystyle \omega } , the plasma can be said to be "collisionless." That is, given the condition ν ≪ ω {\displaystyle \nu

γi is taken to be 3, corresponding to one-dimensional motion. In collisionless plasmas, the electrons are often much hotter than the ions, in which case

ion thrusters, neutron stars, and plasma switches. Collisionless MHD is also often used for collisionless plasmas. In that case the MHD equations are

A double layer is a structure in a plasma consisting of two parallel layers of opposite electrical charge. The sheets of charge, which are not necessarily

Damping in a collisionless plasma, however, raised the question of what might absorb the energy. In fluid theory, in which the plasma is modeled as a

containing the plasma and approximately equal to each other. This is the double-probe method. Conventional Langmuir probe theory assumes collisionless movement
