We consider a linearized Euler--Maxwell model for the propagation and absorption of electromagnetic waves in a magnetized plasma. We present the derivation of the model, and we show its well-posedeness, its strong and polynomial stability under suitable and fairly general assumptions, its exponential stability in the same conditions as the Maxwell system, and finally its convergence to the time-harmonic regime. No homogeneity assumption is made, and the topological and geometrical assumptions on the domain are minimal. These results appear strongly linked to the spectral properties of various matrices describing the anisotropy and other plasma properties.

AbstractThe equations describing transverse propagation of electromagnetic waves in a cylindrically stratified plasma, in which a static magnetic field is imposed parallel to the axis of cylindrical symmetry, are examined. A systematic method developed previously for isotropic media, Heading (3), Westcott (6) is adapted to yield generalized proffles relating to the plasma properties. These proffles are capable of producing exact solutions for the field distribution in terms of standard transcendental functions. Previously known proffles appear as special cases of the analysis.

We consider the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, involving wave transmission between media with opposite sign dielectric and/or magnetic coefficients. We prove that, in the case of sign-shifting dielectric coefficients, the space of electric fields is compactly embedded in L2. We build a three-field variational formulation equivalent to Maxwell system for sign-shifting magnetic coefficients and show that, under some suitable conditions, the formulation fits into the coercive plus compact framework.

Fluctuations and scattering of transverse electromagnetic waves by density fluctuations in a magnetized plasma in the presence of parametric decay of the pump wave are investigated. The spectral density of electron-density fluctuations is calculated. It is shown that the differential scattering cross-section has sharp maxima at the ion-acoustic and lower-hybrid frequencies when parametric decay of the lower-hybrid pump wave occurs. We note that scattering at the ion-acoustic frequency is dominant. When the pump-wave amplitude tends to the threshold strength of the electric field the scattering cross-section increases anomalously, i.e. there is critical opalescence.

The displacement field generated by the reflection and refraction of plane (time harmonic) elastic waves by finite obstacles of arbitrary shape, in the neighborhood of a plane interface between two elastic media, is investigated. The technique employed allows a consistent formulation of the problem for both two and three dimensions, and is not limited either to boundary shapes which are level surfaces in appropriate coordinate systems, i.e., circular cylinders, spheres, etc., or to closed boundary curves or surfaces. The approach is due to Twersky, and has been applied to many problems of the scattering of electromagnetic waves. The method consists of expressing the net field due to all multiple scattering in terms of the field reflected from each boundary in isolation when subjected to an incident plane elastic wave. Thus the technique makes use of more elemental scattering problems whose solutions are extant. By way of illustration, a numerical solution to the scattering of a plane elastic wave by a rigid circular cylindrical obstacle adjacent to a plane free surface is considered.
