More > a plasma, and to decide if certain processes applied to such systems are thermodynamnically irreversible or not. The methods, based on topologies whose ingredients are exterior differential forms, are applicable to sets of distinguishable particles. Several fundamental and new topological features (especially that of Topological Torsion and Topological Spin) of non-equilibrium electromagnetic systems are deduced and lead to the design of new devices and processes, and the creation of metastable plasma states far from equilibrium.< Less

This volume uses topological techniques to describe persistent wakes and other topologically coherent but deformable strutures in fluids as thermodynamic states far from equilibrium and of Pfaff Topological dimension 3. The last part of the book is devoted to an explanation of Turbulence in terms of continuous, but irreversible, topological evolution in a domain of Pfaff Topological dimension 4.< Less
