Ion Acoustic

The dispersion relation for a plasma with different ion and electron temperatures is solved numerically to obtain the frequency and the damping constant for ion-acoustic waves as a function of the wavenumber. It is shown that the commonly used expressions for these variables only apply if the parameter T = ziTe/Ti is larger than 20, and can lead to large errors if T is close to 1. (Here z1 is the ion charge, Te is the electron temperature, and Ti the ion temperature.) Tables and graphs of the frequency and damping as functions of the wavenumber are given for different values of T.

Velocity Of Propagation

The propagation of weakly nonlinear ion–acoustic waves in an inhomogeneous plasma is studied taking into account the effect of finite ion temperature. It is found that, whereas both the amplitude and the velocity of propagation decrease as the ion–acoustic solitary wave propagates into regions of higher density, the effect of a finite ion temperature is to reduce the amplitude but enhance the velocity of propagation of the solitary wave.

Warm Plasma

The derivative expansion perturbation method is applied to investigate the modulation of nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a weakly relativistic warm plasma. At the second order of perturbation theory, a nonlinear Schrödingertype equation for the complex amplitude of the perturbed ion density is obtained. The coefficients in this equation show that the condition of modulational stability is modified by the relativistic effect as well as by the finite ion temperature. The association between the small-wavenumber limit of the nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation and the oscillatory solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation obtained by reductive perturbation theory is considered. Different limits are considered in order to compare with previous work.

Nonlinear Modulation

AbstractThe amplitude modulation of ion-acoustic waves is investigated in a plasma consisting of adiabatic warm ions, and two different populations of thermal electrons at different temperatures. The fluid equations are reduced to nonlinear Schrödinger equation by employing a multi-scale perturbation technique. A linear stability analysis for the wave packet amplitude reveals that long wavelengths are always stable, while modulational instability sets in for shorter wavelengths. It is shown that increasing the value of the hot-to-cold electron temperature ratio (μ), for a given value of the hot-to-cold electron density ratio (ν), favors instability. The role of the ion temperature is also discussed. In the limiting case ν = 0 (or ν → ∞), which correspond(s) to an ordinary (single) electron-ion plasma, the results of previous works are recovered.

AbstractThe weakly nonlinear dynamics of dust ion-acoustic waves (DIAWs) are investigated in a dusty plasma consisting of hot ion fluid, variable charge stationary dust grains and non-thermally distributed electrons. The Korteweg–de Vries equation, as well as the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation, are derived on the basis of the well-known reductive perturbation theory. It is shown that, due to electron non-thermality and finite ion temperature, the present dusty plasma model can support compressive as well as rarefactive DIA solitary waves. Furthermore, there may exist collisionless DIA shock-like waves which have either monotonic or oscillatory behavior, the properties of which depend sensitively on the number of fast non-thermal electrons. The results complement and provide new insights into previously published results on this problem (Mamun, A. A. and Shukla, P. K. 2002 IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 30, 720).

A generalized plasma model with inertial warm ions, inertialess iso-thermal electrons, super-thermal electrons and positrons is considered to theoretically investigate the modulational instability (MI) of ion-acoustic waves (IAWs). A standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived by applying the reductive perturbation method. It is observed that the stable domain of the IAWs decreases with ion temperature but increases with electron temperature. It is also found that the stable domain increases by increasing (decreasing) the electron (ion) number density. The present results will be useful in understanding the conditions for MI of IAWs which are relevant to both space and laboratory plasmas.
