In a cold plasma the wave equation for solely compressional magnetic field perturbations appears to decouple in any surface orthogonal to the background magnetic field. However, the compressional fields in any two of these surfaces are related to each other by the condition that the perturbation field b be divergence-free. Hence the wave equations in these surfaces are not truly decoupled from one another. If the two solutions happen to be ‘matched’ (i.e. V.b = 0) then the medium may execute a solely compressional oscillation. If the two solutions are unmatched then transverse fields must evolve. We consider two classes of compressional solutions and derive a set of criteria for when the medium will be able to support pure compressional field oscillations. These criteria relate to the geometry of the magnetic field and the plasma density distribution. We present the conditions in such a manner that it is easy to see if a given magnetoplasma is able to executive either of the compressional solutions we investigate.

This paper is devoted to investigate the cold plasma wave properties outside the event horizon of the Schwarzschild planar analogue. The dispersion relations are obtained from the corresponding Fourier analyzed equations for nonrotating and rotating, nonmagnetized and magnetized backgrounds. These dispersion relations provide complex wave numbers. The wave numbers are shown in graphs to discuss the nature and behavior of waves and the properties of plasma lying in the vicinity of the Schwarzschild event horizon.

Rayleigh wave is a secondary wave characterized by low frequency and strong energy, propagating mainly along the interface of medium and rapid attenuation of energy with increase in interface distance. The same as reflected wave and refracted wave, Rayleigh wave also contain subsurface geological information. In this paper, the concept of the Rayleigh wave, wave equation, dispersion equation, the frequency bulk characteristics and the application of the actual data are used to indicate the characteristics of Rayleigh wave and its application.

Perturbation methods have been used for electromagnetic scattering and diffraction problems in recent years. A similar method suitable for low-frequency fluid-structure interaction problems is presented. The essence of the method lies in the fact that approximate solutions for fluid-structure interaction problems can be obtained from a set of Poisson’s equations, rather than from the reduced wave equation. The method is particularly useful for those problems where the Poisson’s equation may be solved by the method of separation of variables while the reduced wave equation cannot. As an illustrative example, the vibrations of a submerged spherical shell is studied using the perturbation method and the accuracy of the method is demonstrated.
