Is there a more systematic approach to classical mechanics than Newtons second law?

We have all been there. We were solving some supposedly easy problem where one just had to write out the equations of motion, ie. Newtons second law of motion. It should be simple the teacher said. B…

Q: What does the tokamak plasma-wall interaction look like?

I have talked a lot about how one could possibly harness fusion power using tokamaks, and there I mentioned the problematique of the plasma-wall interaction in a tokamak and that it should be minimiz…
