Abstract
- Plasma turbulence is a stochastic state of the plasma and its electromagnetic fluctuations in spatial and temporal structures. Unlike the randomness of thermal fluctuations (or i.e., thermal noise) that is caused by the discrete randomness of microscopic particles (or i.e., the hypothesis of molecular chaos), however, the turbulent stochasticity of the plasma turbulence should be attributed to the chaotic nondeterminacy of plasma collective modes when dynamically evolving into the chaos state via their nonlinear coupling (Ruelle and Takens 1971; Gollub and Swinney 1975). Plasmas, consisting of charged particles, are intrinsically different from neutral fluids, consisting of neutral atoms or molecules, and can have a number of various collective eigenmodes due to the interparticle electromagnetic interaction.
