Abstract

In many respects the plasma may be considered as a medium that assumes any form provided by external boundaries and forces acting on it from outside. The main parameters are a local particle density \(n(\mathbf {x}, t)\), mass density \(\rho (\mathbf {x},t)\), flow velocity \(\mathbf {u}(\mathbf {x}, t)\), and internal energy density \(\epsilon _\mathrm{in}(\mathbf {x}, t)\). Microscopic order like crystalline structure or ordered micropatterns are of no interest. Such a medium is called a fluid. Examples of fluids are water, magma, sand, air, ideal gas, but also steel under high pressure in the form press, a neutron star, and the plasma. Steel and sand are incompressible under technical pressures. At sufficiently high pressure and strain all fluids turn into compressible media.
