Abstract

A method has been developed for the derivation of Chew–Goldberger–Low (CGL) theory for a collisionless plasma in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The pressure tensor in the pressure tensor equation is expanded in the inverse power of Larmor frequency. In the zeroth order, CGL equations are obtained and, the higher order, finite Larmor radius corrections to CGL equations are derived.
