Islam; Challenges and Opportunities

Undoubtedly Islamic Revolution of Iran has been the source of Islamic awakening in the middle-east. Therefore Islamic Republic of Iran plays the role of an example and a director of political developments in the region. Islamic awakening in Arab countries has been able to question the dominant discourse of dictators in the middle-east region and topple their regimes. These developments include ...

Electromagnetic and Fluid Analysis of Collisional Plasmas

Collisional transport in non-neutral plasmas*

Several recent experiments have measured collisional transport in non-neutral plasmas ~heat conduction, test particle diffusion, and viscosity! that is from 10 to 10 times larger than predicted by classical theory. New guiding center theories of collisional transport have been developed that agree with the measurements. The experiments operate in the guiding center regime rc!lD , where rc is th...

Plasma-wall transition in weakly collisional plasmas

This paper reviews some theoretical and computational aspects of plasma-wall interactions, in particidar the formation of sheaths. Some fundamental residts are derived analytically using a simple fluid model, and are subsequently tested with kinetic simulations. The various regions composing the plasma-wall transition (Debye sheath, colUsional and magnetic presheaths) are discussed in details.
