IDEALIZED PROBLEMS OF PLASMA DYNAMICS RELATING TO GEOMAGNETIC STORMS

Abstract

Contents: Solar plasma streams and magnetic storms Energetic electrons and protons Hydromagnetics and hydromagnetic inferences Hydromagnetics and plasma kinetics Problems of uniform motion through a uniform field Approach of a solar stream into the geomagnetic field Cylindrical sheet problem Oblique projection Extension to a volume distribution and plasma Advance of a solar stream into a plane model magnetic field Thermal and other relative motions of the particles Collisions between the particles Further idealized plasma problems Velocity distribution function
