Generalized Entropy Production in Collisionless Plasma Flows and Turbulence
Collisionless plasmas exhibit nonthermal and anisotropic particle distributions after being energized; as a consequence, they enter a state of low Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy relative to the thermal state. The Vlasov equations predict that in a collisionless plasma with closed boundaries, BG entrop...
