Basic Equations

Expressions for the current response operators of first and second order are calculated for a fluid plasma with isotropic pressure terms. The unperturbed state is an arbitrary space and time dependent solution of the basic equations. The response operators are given in a form which shows explicitly the mathematical structure behind the approximate conservation of wave energy in resonant wave interactions. The coefficients in the coupled mode equations are expressed in terms of these response operators.

Background Shear

Resonant interactions between triads of internal gravity waves propagating in a shear flow are considered for the case when the stratification and the background shear flow vary slowly with respect to typical wavelengths. If ωn, kn(n = 1, 2, 3) are the local frequencies and wavenumbers respectively then the resonance conditions are that ω1 + ω2 + ω3 = 0 and k1 + k2 + k3 = 0. If the medium is only weakly inhomogeneous, then there is a strong resonance and to leading order the resonance conditions are satisfied globally. The equations governing the wave amplitudes are then well known, and have been extensively discussed in the literature. However, if the medium is strongly inhomogeneous, then there is a weak resonance and the resonance conditions can only be satisfied locally on certain space-time resonance surfaces. The equations governing the wave amplitudes in this case are derived, and discussed briefly. Then the results are applied to a study of the hierarchy of wave interactions which can occur near a critical level, with the aim of determining to what extent a critical layer can reflect wave energy.

Time Dependent Model

A time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model is developed for studying high- pressure discharges in ablative capillaries used, for example, as plasma sources in electrothermal launchers. The main features of the model are (i) consideration of ablation effects in each of the continuity, momentum and energy equations; (ii) use of a non-ideal equation of state; and (iii) consideration of space- and time-dependent ionization.

Space And Time

A calculation is given of the temperature distribution in space and time produced by the absorption of an acoustic wave propagated inside a medium, under conditions in which the situation may be described macroscopically. The problem is considered for various geometries, and for both constant and time-dependent energies of the incident acoustic wave. Numerical results are obtained, and a discussion is given of their relevance to various experiments.

AbstractThe machinery of Lie theory (groups and algebras) is applied to the unsteady equations of motion of rotating fluid. A special-function type solution for the steady state is derived. It is then shown how the solution generates an infinite number of time-dependent solutions via three arbitrary functions of time. This algebraic structure also provides the mechanism to search for other solutions since its character is inferred from the basic equations.
