MHD description of plasma
Description
Instead of specifying the plasma in terms of each of its particles a more macroscopic description can be pursued in which the emphasis is on its fluid nature. This fluid description may be a one-fluid, two-fluid, or many-fluid approach. The author discusses the various descriptions of both collisional and collisionless plasma. (Auth.)
