Drift physics describes motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields when gradients or forces are present.
Drift phenomena arise from the Vlasov equation and kinetic theory.
Types of drift
- E × B drift:
- Gradient drift
- Curvature drift
Role in transport
Drift effects are central to transport theory.
Connection to MHD
Magnetohydrodynamics does not fully capture drift effects.
