Miscellaneous Plasma Parameters (plasmapy.formulary.misc)

Functions for miscellaneous plasma parameter calculations.

Functions

Bohm_diffusion(T_e, B)	Return the Bohm diffusion coefficient.
magnetic_energy_density(B)	Calculate the magnetic energy density.
magnetic_pressure(B)	Calculate the magnetic pressure.
mass_density(density, particle[, z_ratio])	Calculate the mass density from a number density.
thermal_pressure(T, n)	Return the thermal pressure for a Maxwellian distribution.

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 _.

DB_(T_e, B)	Alias to Bohm_diffusion.
pmag_(B)	Alias to magnetic_pressure.
pth_(T, n)	Alias to thermal_pressure.
rho_(density, particle[, z_ratio])	Alias to mass_density.
ub_(B)	Alias to magnetic_energy_density.
