Resonant diffusion in strongly turbulent plasmas.The effect of turbulent fluctuations on plasma particles is considered, and equations are derived which describe the evolution of macroscopic properties such as temperature and flow speed of the turbulent plasma. Initially, a diffusion equation for a single-particle distribution function averaged over an ensemble of plasmas is derived for an unmagnetized plasma. For the resonant diffusion in strongly turbulent plasmas, an ensemble of three-dimensional plasmas is considered with an approximately homogeneous and stationary distribution of random electromagnetic fluctuations. For each realization, the single-particle distribution function satisfies the Vlasov equation.
