The resonant interaction between three waves, propagating perpendicular to a constant magnetic field in a spatially uniform plasma, is considered. Significant terms, which have been neglected in the coupling coefficients of previous work, are included.

Abstract. The resonant interaction between three acoustic gravity waves is considered. We improve on the results of previous authors and write the new coupling coefficients in a symmetric form. Particular attention is paid to the low-frequency limit.

AbstractThis paper presents a simple description of three-wave decay interactions involving a pump dispersive Alfvén wave (DAW), decay DAW and decay slow wave (SW) in a uniform magnetized plasma. When the ponderomotive nonlinearities are incorporated in DAW dynamics, the model equations governing the nonlinear excitation of the SWs by DAW in the low-β plasmas (β ≪ me/mi as applicable to solar corona) are given. The expressions for the coupling coefficients of the three-wave interaction have been derived. The growth rate of the instability is also calculated and found that the value of the decay growth time comes out to be of the order of milliseconds at the pump DAW amplitude B0y/B0 = 10−3.

The Hamiltonian structure underlying ideal multifluid electrodynamics is formulated in a way that simplifies Hamiltonian perturbation calculations. We consider linear and lowest-order nonlinear theory, and the results in Part 1 of this series of papers are generalized in a satisfactory way. Thus the Hermitian structure of linearized dynamics is derived, and we obtain the coupling coefficients for resonant three-wave interaction in symmetric form, giving the Manley–Rowe relations.

Resonant nonlinear interaction among three longitudinal waves propagating along any arbitrary angle to a uniform magnetic field in a plasma is investigated by a quantum-mechanical method. The coupled mode equations and coupling coefficients are derived.

Abstract. We reconsider the nonlinear resonant interaction between three electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma. The general coupling coefficients derived from kinetic theory are reduced here to the low-frequency limit. The main contribution to the coupling coefficient we find in this way agrees with the coefficient recently presented in Annales Geophysicae. But we also deduce another contribution which sometimes can be important, and which qualitatively agrees with that of an even more recent paper. We have thus demonstrated how results derived from fluid theory can be improved and generalized by means of kinetic theory. Possible extensions of our results are outlined.

We derive the coupled-mode equations for the non-resonant interaction of three high-frequency surface waves propagating along a cold plasma column with sharp movable boundary. The plasma is then supposed to be surrounded by vacuum. Our boundary conditions take into account the effects of the presence of surface charges, as well as the movements of the boundary. The coupling coefficients are expressed in explicit forms and compared with previous results.

This paper considers the non-linear resonant interaction between three waves, which propagate in the direction of a constant magnetic field in a homogeneous plasma. A coupled-mode theory, which makes it possible to derive the coupling coefficients within a kinetic description, is developed.

The theory for nonlinear three-wave interaction in magnetized plasmas is reconsidered using quantum hydrodynamics. The general coupling coefficients are calculated for the generalized Bohm de Broglie term. It is found that the Manley–Rowe relations are fulfilled only if the form of the particle dispersive term coincides with the standard expression. The implications of our results are discussed.
