Statistical Mechanics of Non-Equilibrium Processes in Plasmas and Gases.

Abstract

The turbulent equations for a neutral fluid are derived from the standpoint of Statistical Mechanics. The Three-Point Method of turbulence was investigated for limitations on the theory. Turbulent equations applicable to the adiabatic response of a plasma are developed.
