Transport equations for a collisionless plasma in a strong magnetic field

Transport equations for a collisionless plasma in a strong magnetic field are derived by averaging the system of equations derived previously by Kadomtsev and Pogutse over small scale fluctuations. The corresponding transport coefficients are derived. Transport is caused not only by gradients of the temperature and density but also by a nonuniformity of the current and nonuniform rotation of the plasma. The latter component of the transport is important only at large values of the ratio Mβ/m, where M and m are the ion and electron masses, and β is the ratio of the plasma pressure to the magnetic pressure. The results also show that the effective viscosity derived previously in the limit Mβ/m approx. <1 is increased by a factor of (Mβ/m)2 in this limit
