Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics: The effects of nonlinear plasma fluctuations on the transport, confinement, and heating of a plasma: (Annual) progress report for period July 1, 1986-July 1, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6317277
The three principal areas of research reported are: (1) turbulent relaxation processes in current carrying magnetofluids such as the reversed-field-pinch; (2) density fluctuations in compressible MHD turbulence; and (3) development of plasma cellular automata, lattice-gas models of magnetofluids and Vlasov plasmas which show promise as a future computational tool. This paper presents a brief description of the results obtained.
