Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Kinetic Theory to the Problem of Evaporation and Condensation
TL;DR: In this paper, the motion of a vapor gas in contact with interphase surfaces is studied on the basis of kinetic theory of gases, and the mass and energy fluxes are determined from the condition of the vapor far away from the interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and Density Jumps in the Kinetic Theory of Gases and Vapors
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of evaporation from an interphase and heat conduction in a gas are studied on the basis of the linearized single-relaxation model equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classical diffusion in toroidal plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, the velocity component normal to the flux surfaces can be solved from a partial differentio-integral equation in terms of instantaneous equilibrium quantities, and a method for determining the other two velocity components is given which involves the use of convective and viscous terms in the momentum equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytic theory of stable resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes
Young‐ping Pao,Wolfgang Kerner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum of stable resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes is determined by the geometry of anti-Stokes lines, and behavior of the eigenfunctions is also examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear behavior of linearly unstable magnetohydrodynamic modes
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for linearly unstable magnetohydrodynamic modes near the threshold of linear instability, the mode amplitude A (t) evolves according to ∂2A/Λt2 =λ2A+αA3 which can lead to nonlinear stabilization, explosive instability, or eventual decay, depending on the sign of α.
