This review is from: Tokamaks (International Series of Monographs on Physics) (Hardcover)
If fusion is to become a practical reality, the design and usage of tokamaks will play a central role. Here is a research level summary of the latest [2004] about tokamaks. The book is very specialised; geared towards the professional physicist in this field. And to graduate students struggling with outdated texts.
Different geometries of tokamaks are explained, with comparisons of their relative capabilities. Overall, the emphasis seems to be on the experimental issues. Though you can see discussions of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic equations that make theoretical analysis so difficult. An overall impression of the book is that we have far to go in pushing the density*confinement product towards a fusion regime. |
