Notes
- 1.
Throughout my manuscript, I take the liberty to use the term plasma loosely to designate interchangeably ionized and neutral fluids except, of course, in cases where the ionization state is essential.
- 2.
For additional details, see for instance the following discussion by Kirk T. McDonald on the Helmholtz decomposition: http://puhep1.princeton.edu/~kirkmcd/examples/helmholtz.pdf.
- 3.
The right hand side of (2.31) is the ‘residue’ of this source term once the non-relativistic limit is taken in addition.
