Researchers at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center are using numerical simulations to study the physics of plasma to better understand the process of fusion in stars. Which of the following is not a property of plasma that needs to be considered?
W) Plasma behaves like a fluid and is governed by hydrodynamic equations such as Navier-Stokes
X) Plasma particles are charged and generate strong magnetic fields when they move
Y) Thermodynamic interactions between plasma particles cause most plasma flow to eventually become laminar
Z) The physical dynamics of plasmas are highly nonlinear making them computationally difficult
✔️Answer:Y) Thermodynamic interactions between plasma particles cause most plasma flow to eventually become laminar
