  1. The Vlasov equation is a differential equation describing time evolution of the distribution function of plasma consisting of charged particles with long-range interaction, such as the Coulomb interaction. The equation was first suggested for the description of plasma by Anatoly Vlasov in 1938 [1] [2] and later discussed by him in detail in a ...

  2. Physics 312 6.Kinetic theory of plasma. Vlasov equation. 1 Kinetic theory of plasma. Vlasov equation. ([4], p.397-407) The most complete description of plasma properties is provided by the kinetic equation. Each of the species of particles is described by the distribution function: f = f(~r;~v;t) The distribution function is deflned in such a ...

  3. (E + v × B) · ∇v f = 0 . (9.13) There are individual Vlasov equations for electrons and ions. 9.1.3 Properties of the Vlasov Equation Before discussing applications of the Vlasov model, we consider general properties of the Vlasov equation: 1. The Vlasov equation conserves the total number of particles N of a species,

  4. The Vlasov equation describes the evolution of the system of particles in the force field F ( t, x, p ), which depends on time t, position x, and momentum p. For every particle with index j, we can write motion equations. where Xj denotes a position j -th particle and Pj its momentum.

  8. The system of equations (1), (2), (3), proposed by A.A. Vlasov, is extensively employed in plasma physics. The linear theory, based on linearization of equations (1), (2), (3), is the most fully developed. It is used in the study of small oscillations and the stability of a plasma [5]. The quasi-linear theory, which makes it possible to study ...
