Turbulence effect on Ohm's law in partially ionized plasmas
Abstract
This paper deals with an investigation of the effect of nonuniformity on electric-current flow in partially ionized plasmas. An Ohm's law for a nonuniform plasma was derived, from which Rosa's (1962) equation is obtained as a special case. Making use of this Ohm's law, the effective electrical conductivity and Hall coefficient were determined for isotropically turbulent plasmas. They were found to be in good agreement with the results obtained previously.
