Description

This is a meta-issue to collect tidbits on things we'd like the plasma class to do.


TODO: interface for inputting a multi-species configuration could be
simplified using the plasmapy.classes.plasma_base class if that class
included ion and electron drift velocities and information about the ion
atomic species.


  • #812 suggests a plasma input decorator
  • #565
  • #534
