Abstract
We have, derived the simple form of Boltzmann-Vlasov equation in the orthogonal curvilinear coodinate system by use of the curvature and the tortion of the coodinate axes, tried to introduce a term of the effect of non-uniform magnetic field configuration and formulated it also in a simple magnetic mirror field configuration. Moreover we have dirived a few of momentum equations from the Boltzmann-Vlasov. equation derived above. it is shown that the derived momentum equations become to well-known fluid equations of plasma if fluid approximation is satisfied. In application, we have examined the axial distribution function of collision-free plasma particles in a idealized magnetic mirror field configuration by moo of the Boltzmann-Vlsov equation in nor-uniform magnetic field.
