ENERGY TRANSFER FROM HOT IONS TO COLD ELECTRONS IN A PLASMA
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4015069
The Fokker-Planck equations are used in the examination as a mathematical description of the ion and electron distribution functions in velocity space. Difference equations are developed to replace the partial differential equations for the functions: f/sub +/(v,t) and f/sub -/(v,t), where v is the magnitude of velocity, and t is the time. The numerical results of the equations are presented and compared with the results predicted by transfer rates given by Spitzer, based on a quasi-equilibrium theory assuming that the electrons have Maxwellian velocity distributions.
