Motivated by plasma and wave measurements in the cusp auroral region, we have investigated electron-acoustic solitons a consisting of fluid ions, cool electron hot Boltzmann component. A recently described method integrating full nonlinear equations as an initial-value problem is used to construct arbitrary amplitude. Using reductive perturbation technique, Korteweg-de Vries equation, which includes effects finite cool-electron ion temperatures, derived, results are compared with theory....

It is shown how existence domains for arbitrary-amplitude ion-acoustic solitons and double layers are determined numerically by cut-off conditions on the corresponding Sagdeev potential. A two-electron-temperature model considered, in positive-ion plasmas given terms of electron parameters, while negative-ion such described parameters characterizing role negative ion species.

Large- and small-amplitude rarefactive ion-acoustic double layers have recently been studied in a fluid plasma with Maxwellian electrons single cold ion species.

Weakly relativistic electron-acoustic solitons are investigated in a two-electron-component plasma whose cool electrons form beam. A general Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived, the small-|ø| domain, for consisting of an arbitrary number relativistically streaming fluid components and hot Boltzmann component. This then applied to specific case waves. In addition, fully nonlinear system Poisson equations integrated yield amplitude. It shown that beam effects on significantly increase...

It is well known that ion-acoustic double layers occur in plasmas containing two-temperature electron species and positive ions. In a recent study Verheest suggested such structures can when there only one but both negative ion species. There stationary modified Korteweg de Vries equation was derived to support his deduction. This prediction, however, contradicts our own arbitrary-amplitude studies, which also cover the parameter regime. Here we resolve discrepancy by examining approaches...

In a number of calculations involving nonlinear structures such as double layers and solitons, the Korteweg-de Vries theory is applied beyond its range validity or approximations are made which not self-consistent. Some situations arising in fluid multispecies plasmas pointed out attention drawn to arbitrary-amplitude numerical yield results that physically very different from those approximate theories. particular, severe restrictions on occurrence ion-acoustic negative-ion...

The fluid equations for a one-dimensional, unmagnetized and collisionless plasma are numerically integrated in finite domain to obtain sheaths at the absorbing wall system boundaries. type of boundary conditions required formation sustaining long-time evolution is discussed detail. In contrast earlier specialized approaches, this treatment utilizes more general fully non-linear model, incorporating both ion electron dynamics, generate time evolutionary sheaths. particular, we avoid...

Since the satellite observations of auroral double layers by Temerin and others, several small amplitude theories have been proposed to account for these. In a recent such theory [J. Phys. Soc.

We therefore re-examine above observed parameter values order explain discrepancy.

Nonlinear density cavities or cavitons occur under various conditions in laboratory and space plasmas.

This article presents a 2-D generalization of the 1-D simulation (J. Phys. Soc.

It is shown that mechanism for caviton formation employed before can also be used to generate corresponding higher-dimensional structures.
