This monograph is dedicated to the derivation and analysis of fluid models occurring in plasma physics. Physicists who may be overwhelmed by the abundance of models and uncertain of their underlying assumptions will find basic mathematical properties of the related systems of partial differential equations.
From the book reviews: "This work is an important bridge between mathematical rigor and practical application, useful for research and simulation experts needing to reevaluate their PDE analyses and assumptions for complex plasma systems. Applied mathematicians will also find this work to be a stimulating introduction to the riches of plasma physics, including the open problems discussed. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals/practitioners." (T. Eastman, Choice, Vol. 52 (3), November, 2014)
