Buneman was a pioneer of computational plasma physics and plasma simulation. They discovered the Buneman-Hartree criteron for the voltage threshold of a magnetron operation. After the war, Buneman developed theories and simulations of collisionless dissipation of currents called the Buneman instability.
This is an example of anomalous resistivity or absorption.
lieutenant is anomalous because the phenomenon does not depend on collisions. Buneman advanced elliptic equation solver methods and their associated applications (as well as for the fast Fourier transforms).
