Basic notions

 

• Fokker-Planck equation for distribution function

  
  
  

• Coulomb collisions with a small angle

  
  
  

• Rosenbluth potentials

  

• macroscopic quantities: density , velocity , pressure , viscous pressure , heat flow

  

• collision terms

  
  
  

• common form of all collision terms

  
  
  

• 13-th moment approximation of the distribution function
