Formulary Plasma Parameter Calculator

[dschaffner]

Create a Jupyter Notebook interface with inputs to calculate a range of plasma parameters given various input values.
Example: Return Alfven speed given magnetic field and density.

Ideal Final version: Put in all inputs and have calculator return all possible calculated components.
Example: If I put in a magnetic field and a density, calculator will return Alfven Speed, plasma frequency, gyrofrequncy, but not ion speed (since T is not given).

Has any work been done in this regard?

Also, apart from having a Jupyter Notebook, how do we feel about also having a GUI for such purpose?
I was thinking of creating a simple user interface which can be developed using tkinter

Ideas for plasma-calculator (related to PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy#1393)

• Add Coulomb logarithm
• Parameters for low-temperature unmagnetized plasmas (maybe by adding a flag to the plasmapy-calculator command?)
• Temperature option in eV
