Transport Coefficients and Collision Frequencies for Aeronomic Plasmas

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Physik / Encyclopedia of Physics ((PHYSIK 10,volume 10 / 49 / 7))

Abstract

For an understanding of many aeronomic processes, diffusion coefficients D. heat conductivities κ. and viscosities η are needed. To study the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a planetary atmosphere, the electrical conductivity σ of the atmosphere must be known. Since the motion of charged particles is strongly influenced by a magnetic field B pervading the plasma, e.g., the Earth’s magnetic field B ♀ the atmospheric plasma is an anisotropic medium with B := B/B as distinguished direction. Therefore the transport coefficients D. K. and σ for charged particles are tensors of second rank, the viscosity is a fourth-rank tensor.
