MULTICOMPONENT, INHOMOGENEOUS AND EXPANDING PLASMAS BASED ON GRAVITATIONAL AND ''DARK ENERGY DENSITY'' INTERACTIONS

Plasmas involving gravitational and “dark energy density” interactions and featuring inhomogeneous expansion rates and mass densities are introduced, referring to recent observations of the “closer” Universe.These (cosmological) plasmas are envisioned as composed of four populations: the Field Galaxies, featuring the highest mass densities, the Loaded Galaxy Clusters, the Diffuse Intergalactic Medium and the Pervading Dark Matter in which the visible populations are immersed. The Loaded Galaxy Clusters include the optically observed clusters of galaxies, the associated electromagnetic radiation (X-rays) emitting plasmas and the dark matter that contains them. Characteristic “Population Mixing Modes” are identified that can be sustained by factors that include the source of momentum for the visible populations. A dark energy density transport equation is proposed, involving a diffusion process combined with an outflow of dark energy density, that is analogous to transport equations introduced for laboratory and space plasmas near (but not in) thermal equilibrium.
