Anomalous Viscosity in Turbulent Plasma Due to Electromagnetic Instability. II

Abstract

Using the results obtained in Part 1 on the instabilities in an electron plasma with stresses, the stationary turbulence arisen from the instabilities and the resultant viscosity are analysed on the basis of a nonlinear theory similar to Dupree's one. In the analysis, the broadening of resonance plays an important role in the saturation of fluctuations. It is shown that the viscosity in the target plasma of inertial confinement fusion is much reduced in comparison to the classical one, by this anomalous transport mechanism.
