The 'water-bag' model

Description

Some basic linear problems of a collisionless plasma are considered using the so-called 'water-bag' model. The dispersion relations for a single and a double 'water-bag' are given and comparisons with the closed-moment model are made. The effects of an external applied electric field are considered and the trapping of particles within the potential troughs analysed. (U.K.)
