Abstract
For treating Alfven waves driven unstable by a particles, an alternati ve to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory gyro-landau fluid approach is suggested. Its primary advantage is that this method can simultaneousl y treat fluid nonlinearities and kinetic quasilinear effects. It is ar gued that more perturbative approaches could overestimate the kinetic quasilinear effects. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
