Cours
Plasma I
Following an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas are discussed throughout the course.
Physique générale : fluides et électromagnétisme
The course covers two important chapters of physics: physics of fluids and electromagnetism. An introduction to the physics of waves will be given in order to study the solutions of the equations of hydrodynamics and Maxwell's equations.
