Particle drifts (plasmapy.formulary.drifts)

Functions for calculating particle drifts.

Functions

diamagnetic_drift(dp, B, n, q)	Calculate the diamagnetic fluid perpendicular drift.
ExB_drift(E, B)	Calculate the "electric cross magnetic" particle drift.
force_drift(F, B, q)	Calculate the general force drift for a particle in a magnetic field.

Aliases

PlasmaPy provides short-named (alias) versions of the most common plasma functionality. These aliases are only given to functionality where there is a common lexicon in the community, for example plasma_frequency has the alias wp_. All aliases in PlasmaPy are denoted with a trailing underscore _.

vd_(dp, B, n, q)	Alias to diamagnetic_drift.
veb_(E, B)	Alias to ExB_drift.
vfd_(F, B, q)	Alias to force_drift.
