Thermodynamic functions of dense plasmas: analytic approxi- mations for astrophysical applications
We briefly review analytic approximations of thermodynamic functions of fully ionized nonideal electronion plasmas, applicable in a wide range of plasma parameters, including the domains of nondegenerate and degenerate, nonrelativistic and relativistic electrons, weakly and strongly coupled Coulomb liquids, classical and quantum Coulomb crystals. We present improvements to previously published ...
متن کاملAnalytic approximations to Kelvin functions with applications to electromagnetics
We present analytical approximations for the real Kelvin function berx and the imaginary Kelvin function beix, using the two–point quasifractional approximation procedure. We have applied these approximations to the calculation of the current distribution within a cylindrical conductor. Our approximations are simple and accurate. The infinite number of roots is also obtained with the approximat...
متن کاملNuclear astrophysical plasmas: ion distribution functions and fusion rates
This article illustrates how very small deviations from the Maxwellian exponential tail, while leaving unchanged bulk quantities, can yield dramatic effects on fusion reaction rates and discuss several mechanisms that can cause such deviations. Fusion reactions are the fundamental energy source of stars and play important roles in most astrophysical contexts. Since the beginning of quantum mech...
متن کاملHydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and astrophysical plasmas
1 Introduction It is not uncommon to encounter the assertion that the dynamical evolution of the large-scale bulk velocity v of a collisionless gas is not described by the hydrodynamic (HD) equations. A favorite " reason " is the statement that pressure cannot be defined in the absence of collisions. Then in some quarters it is believed that the large-scale bulk dynamics of a swirling magnetize...
متن کاملApplication of the Norm Estimates for Univalence of Analytic Functions
By using norm estimates of the pre-Schwarzian derivatives for certain family of analytic functions, we shall give simple sufficient conditions for univalence of analytic functions.
