AbstractA theoretical investigation on the nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves in a degenerate dense plasma has been made by employing the reductive perturbation method. The Burger's equation has been derived, and numerically analyzed. The basic features of electrostatic shock structures have been examined. It has been shown that the plasma system under consideration supports the propagation of electrostatic shock structures. The implications of our results (obtained from this investigation) in compact astrophysical objects have been briefly discussed.

The nonlinear propagation of positron-acoustic waves (PAWs) in an unmagnetized, collisionless, four component, dense plasma system (containing non-relativistic inertial cold positrons, relativistic degenerate electron and hot positron fluids as well as positively charged immobile ions) has been investigated theoretically. The Korteweg–de Vries (K–dV), modified K–dV (mK–dV) and further mK–dV (fmK–dV) equations have been derived by using reductive perturbation technique. Their solitary wave solutions have been numerically analysed in order to understand the localized electrostatic disturbances. It is observed that the relativistic effect plays a pivotal role on the propagation of positron-acoustic solitary waves (PASW). It is also observed that the effects of degenerate pressure and the number density of inertial cold positrons, hot positrons, electrons and positively charged static ions significantly modify the fundamental features of PASW. The basic features and the underlying physics of PASW, which are relevant to some astrophysical compact objects (such as white dwarfs, neutron stars etc.), are concisely discussed.

Considering the electron velocity distribution far from Maxwellian, we have investigated the nonlinear propagation of ion acoustic waves in a plasma consisting of warm ions. The solitary wave solution has been obtained for this case retaining terms up to the third order in the usual reductive perturbation method.

Two-dimensional three-component plasma system consisting of nonextensive electrons, positrons, and relativistic thermal ions is considered. The well-known Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Burgers and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations are derived to study the basic characteristics of small but finite amplitude ion acoustic waves of the plasmas by using the reductive perturbation method. The influences of positron concentration, electron-positron and ion-electron temperature ratios, strength of electron and positrons nonextensivity, and relativistic streaming factor on the propagation of ion acoustic waves in the plasmas are investigated. It is revealed that the electrostatic compressive and rarefactive ion acoustic waves are obtained for superthermal electrons and positrons, but only compressive ion acoustic waves are found and the potential profiles become steeper in case of subthermal positrons and electrons.

AbstractThe hydrodynamic equations of positive and negative ions, degenerate electrons, and the Poisson equation are used along with the reductive perturbation method to derive the three-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation. The G′/G-expansion method is used to obtain a new class of solutions for the ZK equation. At certain condition, these solutions can describe the solitary waves that propagate in our plasma. The effects of negative ion concentrations, the positive/negative ion cyclotron frequency, as well as positive-to-negative ion mass ratio on solitary pulses are examined. Finally, the present study might be helpful to understand the propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves in a dense plasma, such as in astrophysical objects.

A rigorous theoretical investigation has been made on the linear propagation of electrostatic perturbation modes of degenerate pressure driven modified nucleus-acoustic (DPDMNA) ‘waves in a degenerate quantum plasma (DQP) system. It contains cold inertia-less degenerate electron species (DES), cold inertial non-degenerate light nucleus species (LNS) and stationary heavy nucleus species (HNS) which maintains the quasi-neutrality condition at equilibrium only. The mass density of the cold LNS provides the inertia and the cold inertia-less cold LNS provides the inertia and the cold inertia-less DES gives rise to the restoring force. The reductive perturbation method has been used for the study of nonlinear propagation of the DPDMNA waves. The basic features of linear waves are supervised in a theoretical manner. It has been observed that the phase speed of DPDMNA waves changes with the change of charge density of the stationary HNS for both non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic DES; The NA waves with their dispersion properties which are consequential in various astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, have been broadly considered.
