This work fills a significant gap in the set of available references for research in the field, and serves as part of the wider literature helpful in related fields such as geophysical fluid dynamics or astrophysics, in which background rotation is mathematically similar to a background magnetic field in a plasma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first of a two-volume set, this book begins with an overview of the essential nature of a plasma and a magnetised plasma, then turbulence and plasma turbulence are introduced conceptually and mathematically. There follows a theoretical interlude developing the concepts of fluid and plasma dynamics, emphasising the force balance and quasineutrality which shape its character. After this the three-dimensional situation takes over center stage. Concepts of energetic consistency and nonlinear instability and mode structure are emphasised. The effects of magnetic shear and curvature, and open and closed magnetic field line flux surfaces, and finally the interaction with both background and self-generated flows, are all covered in separate chapters. An interlude points to a second volume treating temperature gradients and fluctuations, gyrokinetic and gyrofluid theory, and the interplay with magnetohydrodynamic instabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a world-leading expert in magnetised plasma turbulence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFills a long-standing gap in the plasma physics literature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst comprehensive books on two-fluid magnetised plasma turbulence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes complete derivations of the fundamental concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 075032502X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750325028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Physics Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Bruce Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48748283003135,"sku":"9780750325028","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75516aee-c2ea-47f3-ad0f-1a0a39b8fe28.jpg?v=1782628328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turbulence-and-instabilities-in-magnetised-bruce-scott-9780750325028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
