AbstractPlasma filamentation is often encountered in collisionless shocks and inertial confinement fusion. We develop a general analytical description of the two-dimensional relativistic filamentary equilibrium and derive the conditions for existence of potential-free equilibria. A pseudopotential equation for the vector-potential is constructed for cold and relativistic Maxwellian distributions. The role of counter-streaming is explained. We present single current sheet and periodic current sheet solutions, and analyze the equilibria with electric potential. These solutions can be used to study linear and nonlinear evolution of the relativistic filamentation instability.

The growth of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in three dimensions is ex amined during the deceleration phase of an inertial confinement fusion implosion. A detailed discussion of the three-dimensional hydrocode, PLATO, is presented. A review of previous calculations is given, concentrating on theshape of the R-T instability in three dimensions. Results of the growth rate during the linear phase, the saturation amplitude, and the nonlinear evolution are presented.

A brief description of plasma, its types and fundamental requirements necessary to study the physics of plasma has been presented through this article. Information given here would be useful to those who have the basic knowledge of physics. Mathematical complications have been avoided to suit the purpose. Varied applications of plasma have been introduced. A little detail has been devoted to one of the major applications of plasma physics known as theoretical thermonuclear fusion studies. Physics of inertial confinement together with the role of self-generated magnetic field in the design of fusion targets have also been described. Himalayan Journal of Sciences 1(1): 21-24, 2003
