This photo illustrates the distinction between two important sets of equations for plasma physics. These equations are called models or regimes. The first regime is called magnetohydrodynamics and treats charged particles as a fluid. The second regime requires the orbits of individual particles. In this photo, we can view the bubble-like regions of the poi's trajectory as kinetic. Here the poi is acting like a particle orbiting a background field. Because kinetic computations are very costly, we cannot see the entire trajectory at once using these equations. However, we can view the overall trajectory using magnetohydrodynamics. For the magnetohydrodynamic portion of the photo, we see a smooth line instead of a spinning light.
