The Seminar
at the Centre de Physique Theorique, Luminy, Marseille
April
2nd, 2008, at 14.00, Amphiteater 5 (Announcement.html)
|
The seminar was based on a
collection that juxtaposes almost all the slides I have ever prepared on this
subject (de
omni re scibili –Pico de la
Mirandola,
et quibusdam aliis, Voltaire).
Naturally only a part have been shown the others were prepared for
discussions and questions. Small additions are scattered
along the text : the energy, the currents, etc. Something new at the end, about
on why we take ρ as exp(ψ), just a flavor. |
it is a large pdf, 2.7 mega |
Connection
between vorticity and density in fluids and plasmas
|
Draft of a text on elementary aspects of connection vorticity-density (Version
of February 20, updated on March 21st , 2008) Density_Omega.pdf Seminar :
Only on request (two persons except the speaker).
There were several requests and therefore there was a seminar, on
March 21st , 2008
At PIIM, Universite de Provence, St.Jerome Can be downloaded here seminar_21march2008.pdf |

Notes
on Neoclassics
Draft of the FIRST
PART of Notes on Elementary Neoclassical Theory
(Version of
March 17, 2008) Notes_Neoclassics_1.pdf
Seminar :
There will be no seminar on this first part, it does not deserve.
Vortex
nucleation, saturation of zonal flows and origin of filamentary ELMs
|
Ceci n’est pas un texte. Eight pages prepared for IAEA 2008 |
Normally there is a small movie here. Electrons running poloidally. |
