About this title

Synopsis

In this collection from the workshop in spring 2004, contributors offer topics related to the kinetic theory in neutral gases and magnetized plasmas, and include studies of quantum plasmas that may have technological applications in semiconductor devices and nanoscale objects and other systems such as granular flows. Individual topics include hydrodynamic limits of kinetic models, collisionless plasmas and the Vlasov Maxwell system, irreversible behaviors in Vlasov equation and many-body Hamiltonian dynamics in terms of Landau damping, chaos and granularity, guiding center theory, variational formulation of exact and reduced Vlasov-Maxwell equations, general gyrokinetic theory (including an article with applications in magnetic confinement research in plasma plastics) kinetic to fluid descriptions in plasmas, nonlocal closures in long mean free path regimes, modeling quantum plasmas and inelastic kinetic theory in terms of the granular gas.
