Abstract
An analysis is made of the dynamics of weak perturbations in a nonrelativistic collisional plasma in the absence of chemical reactions. It is shown that for a certain class of external interactions a description based on kinetic theory is equivalent to one expressed in terms of nonlocal hydrodynamics when the material relationships are nonlocal in space and time. The corresponding kernels of nonlocality are calculated from the kinetic equation. Conditions imposed on the coefficients in the material relationships are given which follow from the dissipative nature and reversibility at the microscopic level (analogous to Onsager relations).
