AbstractThis paper deals with wave propagation in inhomogeneous compressible electron plasmas. The waves are described by Maxwell's equations coupled to the linearized single-fluid equations of hydrodynamics. Coupled wave equations are derived which describe the propagation of coupled electromagnetic and electron acoustic waves. Results are obtained for generally inhomogeneous plasmas and are specialized to planar and cylindrically stratified media. Particular attention is given to the planar case and several approximate techniques for treating the equations are discussed. The fields in a region of coupling are investigated.

Abstract.This paper deals with small amplitude waves in inhomogeneous warm electron plasmas. The waves are coupled electromagnetic and electron-acoustic waves, and are described by Maxwell's equations together with single-fluid hydrodynamical equations. Here, previous work is generalized by including the effect of a static pressure gradient. Coupled wave equations are obtained and specialized to the case of a planar stratified plasma. Then, as a preliminary to a treatment of wave coupling, the behaviour of the solutions of the uncoupled wave equations in a coupling region is investigated. The static pressure gradient complicates the behaviour of the uncoupled field components; singularities occur at two points which coalesce as the static pressure gradient is allowed to tend to zero.
