Study of similarity rules for electromagnetic process in partially ionized plasmas

Multicomponent Transport Algorithms for Partially Ionized Plasmas

We investigate iterative methods for solving transport linear systems of partially ionized plasmas. We consider the situations of weak and strong magnetic fields as well as nonequilibrium and the linear systems are investigated in their natural constrained singular symmetric form. Stationary iterative techniques are considered with a new more singular formulation of the transport linear systems...

Quantum Molecular Dynamics of Partially Ionized Plasmas

We study a partially ionized hydrogen plasma by means of quantum molecular dynamics, which is based on wave packets. We introduce a new model which distinguishes between free and bound electrons. The free electrons are modelled as Gaussian wave packets with fixed width. For the bound states the 1s-wave function of the hydrogen atom is assumed. In our simulations we obtain thermodynamic properti...

Hall magnetohydrodynamics of partially ionized plasmas

The Hall effect arises in a plasma when electrons are able to drift with the magnetic field but ions cannot. In a fully-ionized plasma this occurs for frequencies between the ion and electron cyclotron frequencies because of the larger ion inertia. Typically this frequency range lies well above the frequencies of interest (such as the dynamical frequency of the system under consideration) and c...

Stopping power for deuterons in partially ionized Al plasmas

Electromagnetic Polarization in Partially Ionized Plasmas with Strong Magnetic Fields and Neutron Star Atmosphere Models

Polarizability tensor of a strongly magnetized plasma and the polarization vectors and opacities of normal electromagnetic waves are studied for the conditions typical of neutron star atmospheres, taking account of partial ionization effects. Vacuum polarization is also included using a new set of fitting formulae that are accurate for wide range of field strengths. The full account of the coup...
