Notizen: Effect of Ion-Neutral Collisions on Plasma Rotation

  • H. W. Drawin , M. Fumelli and D. Voslamber

By calculating the Boltzmann collision integral for collisions between ions and neutral particles, two different formulae for the rotation velocity υΘ of a cylindrical plasma column driven by Ir Bz-iorces have been derived. For υΘth the rotation velocity is proportional to IrBz, whereas for υΘth one gets a dependency υΘ ~ (Ir Bz)1/2. υth denotes the mean thermal velocity of the ions
