Abstract. The stationary inertial Alfvén (StIA) wave (Knudsen, 1996) was predicted for cold, collisionless plasma. The model was generalized (Finnegan et al., 2008) to include nonzero values of electron and ion collisional resistivity and thermal pressure. Here, the two-fluid model is further generalized to include anisotropic thermal pressure. A bounded range of values of parallel electron drift velocity is found that excludes periodic stationary Alfvén wave solutions. This exclusion region depends on the value of the local Alfvén speed VA, plasma beta perpendicular to the magnetic field β⊥ and electron temperature anisotropy.

This paper studies the nonlinear coupling between a large amplitude propagating lower-hybrid wave and two electromagnetic waves in a plasma. Using a two-fluid model and Vlasov and Maxwell's equations, we derive a dispersion relation governing this three-wave interaction process. It is shown that a finite wavenumber lower-hybrid pump can decay into a whistler and a kinetic Alfvén wave. Calculations of the threshold condition suggest that this decay process may occur both in the laboratory and in the ionosphere.

Dispersion and attenuation was measured for standing waves in a vertical waveguide filled with a bubbly air/water mixture. The propagation speed of pressure pulses was also measured. The data were compared with a two-fluid model for a range of values of the virtual volume coefficient, CVM. The experimentally determined CVM was found to be a function of global void fraction (〈α〉). Moreover it was noted that this CVM was less strongly related to void fraction than those proposed by Zuber (1964) and Van Wijngaarden (1976).

Abstract A study is made of solitary waves propagating along a constant, uniform magnetic field in a warm collisionless plasma. The calculation is based on a two-fluid model of the plasma. It is found that the effect of the thermal motion of ions and electrons is to reduce the amplitude but enhance the velocity of propagation of the solitary wave.

Abstract. A physical model for the existence of bipolar structures in the electric field that are parallel to the magnetic field and observed in the auroral ionosphere, is established by deriving the "Sagdeev potential" from the two-fluid equations in a cylindrical coordinate system. The model shows that the bipolar electric field structure can develop not only from an ion acoustic wave, but also from an ion cyclotron wave, when the Mach number and the initial electric field satisfy certain conditions. Moreover, in the auroral region, it shows that the polarity of this electric field structure can be oriented either negative to positive or the reverse polarity, its amplitude can be varied from 35 to 330 mV/m, and its duration can be 7 ms to 23 ms. These results are in agreement with observation. Therefore, our two-fluid model can interpret the bipolar structures observed in the auroral ionosphere.

AbstractThe present communication presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a stenotic artery with a porous wall comprising Brinkman and Darcy layers. The governing equations describing the flow subjected to the boundary conditions have been solved analytically under the low Reynolds number and mild stenosis assumptions. Some special cases of the problem are also presented mathematically. The significant effects of the rheology of blood and porous wall of the artery on physiological flow quantities have been investigated. The results reveal that the wall shear stress at the stenotic throat increases dramatically for the thinner porous wall (i.e. smaller values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of increase is found to be 18.46% while it decreases for the thicker porous wall (i.e. higher values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of decrease is found to be 10.21%. Further, the streamline pattern in the stenotic region has been plotted and discussed.
