Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of a low-frequency electrostatic dissipative inhomogeneous plasma in an external magnetic field is studied for conditions above the critical point. The diffusion flux and the saturation level are self-consistently calculated from first principles, i.e. from the Braginskii equation.
