A subfield that studies the behavior of ionized gases, such as in stars and fusion reactions.
Electromagnetic Theory: The study of the relationship between electric and magnetic fields.
Gas Kinetics: The study of the behavior of gas molecules and their interactions with each other.
Thermodynamics: The study of heat and temperature and their relationship with energy.
Quantum Mechanics: Theory that describes the behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.
Hydrodynamics: The study of fluids in motion.
Plasma Waves: Electromagnetic waves that occur in plasmas.
Magnetohydrodynamics: The study of the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids in magnetic fields.
Plasma Instabilities: The study of the behavior of plasmas when they become unstable.
Plasma Diagnostics: Methods used to measure parameters of plasmas, such as temperature and density.
Plasma Sources: Devices used to generate plasmas, such as plasma torches and plasma guns.
