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:

𝐯=𝐄×𝐁B2

  • Gradient drift
  • Curvature drift

Role in transport

Drift effects are central to transport theory.

Connection to MHD

Magnetohydrodynamics does not fully capture drift effects.
