Gyrokinetic equation

The gyrokinetic equation describes how charged particles, like ions and electrons, move and behave in a hot, magnetized plasma, such as in fusion reactors. It simplifies the complex motion by averaging out fast spiraling movements around magnetic field lines, focusing on slower, more relevant dynamics. This helps scientists understand turbulence, energy transfer, and confinement in plasma, which are crucial for developing efficient fusion energy. Essentially, it provides a manageable way to analyze plasma behavior without losing critical physical details.
