An Introduction To The Theory Of Plasma Turbulence – Tsytovich

Posted on May 3, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book An Introduction To The Theory Of Plasma Turbulence
by V. N. Tsytovich.

About the book

This book is based upon lectures given by Professor Tsytovich at Culham Laboratory. The preceding text can only represent the present state of the development of the theory of plasma turbulence. The author has tried to follow the logic, but not the history of this field and, therefore, the references are very fragmented and not by any means complete. The essential physical statements that the author wants to emphasise finally are:

  1. The plasma properties in the turbulent region are mostly non-linear. This raises the possibility of universal plasma properties like a universal spectrum that can be independent of the type of instability.

  2. Nevertheless, the turbulence is often weak: W/nT << 1, and when describing the properties of the turbulent oscillation interactions it is not possible to expand the non-linear interactions in terms of the turbulent energy. The elementary excitations such as plasmons and “dressed” particles have thus a finite lifetime which is connected with their non­-linear interactions.

  3. The small low-frequency perturbations in a turbulent plasma have quite a different nature because of the frequent turbulent collisions, and the dielectric constant that describes such perturbations cannot be expanded in terms of the turbulent energy.

  4. The development of a turbulent state is very probable for a plasma as a result of the fact that the energy applied has a tendency to disperse to the greatest possible degree of freedom. Innumerable numbers of different plasma instabilities can bring the plasma to a turbulent state. The plasmas in astrophysical conditions must, therefore, often be turbulent. This can lead to a way of explaining cosmic-ray origins with a universal power-type spectrum.

  5. The development of plasma turbulence can occur as a result of development, firstly, of one or a small number of collective modes, with a subsequent spread of the energy to other modes by non-linear inter­actions as well as by the excitation of many modes at the first stage. For the case of the excitation of one mode, the first stage is not turbulent and the turbulence develops as the energy is spread, if the system is ergodic. The plasma collective motions seem to be the best test for an investigation of the general problems of the development of the random­isation process, as well as of the general problems of the possibility of a statistical description of a system.

The book was translated from Russian and was published in  1972.

Method Of Edge Waves In The Physical Theory Of Diffraction – Ufimtsev

Posted on May 2, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Method Of Edge Waves In The Physical Theory Of Diffraction by P. Ya. Ufimtsev.

About the book

The book is a monograph written as a result of research by the author. The diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves by ideally conducting bodies, the surface of which have discontinuities, is investigated in the book. The linear dimensions of the bodies are assumed to be large in comparison with the wavelength. The method developed in the book takes into account the perturbation of the field in the vicinity of the surface discontinuity and allows one to substantially refine the approximations of geometric and physical optics. Expressions are found for the fringing field in the distant zone. A numerical calculation is performed of the scattering characteristics, and a comparison is made with the results of rigorous theory and with experiments. The book is intended for physicists and radio engineers who are interested in diffraction phenomena, and also for students of advanced courses and aspirants who are specializing in antennas and the propagation of radio waves.

The book was translated from Russian and was published in 1962  by Foreign Technology Division of USA.

Qualitative Methods In The Many Body Problem – Khilmi

Posted on April 29, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Qualitative Methods In The Many Body Problem by G. F. Khilmi.

About the book

The n-body problem is the name usually given to the problem of the motion of a system of many particles attracting each other according to Newton’s law of gravitation. This is the classical problem of mathematical natural science, the significance of which goes far beyond the limits of its astronomical applications.

The n-body problem has been the main topic of celestial mechanics from the time of its inception as a science. Now that many of the problems of celestial mechanics have become part of geophysics, the central position of the w-body problem has been further strengthened.

The fundamental dynamical problem for a system of n gravitating bodies is the investigation and predetermina­tion of the changes in position and velocity that the particles undergo as the time varies. However, this is a very complex non-linear problem whose solution has not been possible under the present-day status of mathematical analysis.

In the first chapter, we give the equations and general integrals of the n-body problem, and we study the simplest theorems on the final motion due to Jacobi.

In the second chapter, we consider means of applying the method of dimensional analysis to the n-body problem. As far as we know, dimensional analysis has not been used before in the investigation of the final motion; though it does not yield definitive results in this area, it is very use­ ful in carrying out a preliminary analysis of the problem.

In the third chapter, we present our “method of continuous induction” and we consider some applications of it in which the final motion in the n-body problem is analyzed. This method allows us to obtain effective qualitative results, namely, it allows us to formulate suffi­cient conditions for the occurrence of certain types of final motions in the form of conditions on the initial state of the dynamical system.

The fourth chapter is devoted to the method of invariant measure. The application of this method to the many-body problem has necessitated working out a number of theorems on the measure theory of dynamical systems. These are presented at the beginning of the chapter. At the end of the chapter, we prove some very general theorems on the motion of a system of gravitating bodies using the method of invariant measure.

In the fifth chapter, an attempt is made to analyze some cases of the evolution of a system of n gravitating bodies on the basis of celestial mechanics. Here, we shall be concerned with the processes which are of cosmogonical interest, and which are accompanied by the conversion of mechanical energy into non-mechanical forms.

The book was translated from Russian by B. D. Seckler and was published in 1961.

A Method For Studying Model Hamiltonians – A Minimax Principle For Problems In Statistical Physics – Bogolyubov Jr

Posted on April 28, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book A Method For Studying Model Hamiltonians – A Minimax Principle For Problems In Statistical Physics by N. N. Bogolyubov Jr..

About the book

In this book methods are proposed for solving certain problems in statistical physics which contain four-fermion interaction.

It has been possible, by means of “approximating (trial) Hamiltonians”, to distinguish a whole class of exactly soluble model systems. An essential difference between the two types of problem with positive and negative four-fermion interaction is discovered and examined. The determination of exact solutions for the free energies, single-time and many-time correlation functions, T-products and Green’s functions is treated for each type of problem.

The more general problem for which the Hamiltonian contains some terms with positive and others with negative four-fermion interaction is also investigated. On the basis of analysing and general­izing the results of Chapters 1 to 3, it becomes possible to formulate and develop a new principle, the minimax principle, for problems in statistical physics (Chapter 4).

The book was translated from Russian by P. J. Shepherd and was published in 1972.

Calculus Of Variations – Gelfand, Fomin

Posted on April 27, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Calculus Of Variations by I.M. Gelfand; S.V. Fomin.

About the book

This book is a modern introduction to the calculus of variations and certain of its ramifications, and I trust that its fresh and lively point of view will serve to make it a welcome addition to the English-language literature on the subject. The present edition is rather different from the Russian original. With the authors’ consent, I have given free rein to the tendency of any mathematically educated translator to assume the functions of annotator and stylist.

The problems appearing at the end of each of the eight chapters and two appendices were made specifically for the English edition, and many of them comment further on the corresponding parts of the text.

The book was translated from Russian by Richard Silverman and was published in 1963.

Forging Practice – Kamenshchikov, Koltun, Naumov, Chernobrovkin

Posted on April 26, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Forging Practice by G. Kamenshchikov; S. Koltun; V. Naumov; B. Chernobrovkin.

About the book

All machines are built up of parts made of different materials and by various manufacturing processes. Some parts are cast from metals; some are forged, while others are produced by machining on different kinds of machine tools. Castings and forgings have to be machined before they acquire their proper shape, exact dimensions and surface finish. Forged parts, whether they are to be machined or not, are called forgings. This book describes various technologies used in the forgings.

The book was translated from Russian (translator’s name is not mentioned) was published  by Peace Publishers in 1960.

Quantum Mechanics – Davydov

Posted on April 25, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Quantum Mechanics by A. S. Davydov.

About the book

The present book is an extended exposition of a course of lectures in quantum mechanics given by the author over several years to students of the Physics Depart­ment of Moscow University. This course is given after the sections on atomic and nuclear physics of the general course in physics. In those sections of the course a historical outline of the development of contemporary ideas about the structure of atoms and of atomic nuclei is given, as well as the experimental data on which quantum mechanics is based. The present book therefore does not touch at all upon the historical development of quantum theory.
The main emphasis in the present book is upon the physical ideas and the mathematical formalism of the quantum theory of the non-relativistic and quasi-relativistic (up to terms of order v2lc2) motion of a single particle in an external field. In particular, we show the inapplicability of the concept of an essentially relativistic motion of a single particle. We put great emphasis upon representation theory, the theory of canonical transformations, scattering theory, and quantum transitions. A relatively detailed exposition is given of the theory of systems consisting of identical bosons or fermions. We also devote several sections to the theory of molecules, the theory of chemical binding, and solid state theory.
An important role is played in this book by the theory of second quantisation as a method to study systems consisting of a large number of identical particles. In parti­cular, we give the basic ideas of the theories of superconductivity and of superfluidity. The basic ideas are given of the methods for quantising the meson field, the electro­magnetic field (without charges) and the electron-positron field, neglecting diver­gencies and renormalisation, as these topics are dealt with in special books which are studied after quantum mechanics.
The present book can be used as an introduction to a study of quantum elctrodynamics, nuclear theory, or solid state theory. To read it, it is necessary to be fami­liar with the usual contents of university courses in mathematics, classical mechanics, and electrodynamics. For reference purposes we give at the end of the book some mathematical appendices about special functions, matrices, and group theory.
In this book we mainly refer to review or original papers when we want to indicate where the reader can study a more detailed discussion of a topic. These references do not pretend to be complete.
Although we do not consider in this book special methodological problems, the exposition is based upon dialectic materialism, that is, we start from the idea that the regularities of atomic and nuclear physics which are studied in quantum mechanics are objective regularities of nature.

The book is intended for students of physics, studying quantum mechanics. It can also be used as a reference book for teachers and other scientists.

The book was translated from Russian by D. Ter Haar was published in 1965.
