  • Nonplanar Ion Acoustic Waves with Nonthermal Electrons
    Earth Moon and Planets, 2012
    Co-Authors: Biswajit Sahu, Rajkumar Roychoudhury
    Abstract:

    Using the standard reductive perturbatIon technique, nonlinear cylindrical and spherical Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equatIons are derived for the propagatIon of Ion Acoustic solitary Waves in an unmagnetized collisIonless plasma with nonthermal electrons and warm Ions. The influence of nonthermally distributed electrons and the effects caused by the transverse perturbatIon on cylindrical and spherical Ion Acoustic Waves (IAWs) are investigated. It is observed that the presence of nonthermally distributed electrons has a significant role in the nature of Ion Acoustic Waves. In particular, when the nonthermal distributIon parameter β takes certain values the usual cylindrical KP equatIon (CKPE) and spherical KP equatIon (SKPE) become invalid. One then has to have recourse to the modified CKPE or SKPE. Analytical solutIons of both CKPE and SKPE and their modified versIons are discussed in the present paper. The present investigatIon may have relevance in the study of propagatIon of IAWs in space and laboratory plasmas.

  • cylindrical and spherical quantum Ion Acoustic Waves
    Physics of Plasmas, 2007
    Co-Authors: Biswajit Sahu, Rajkumar Roychoudhury
    Abstract:

    Cylindrical and spherical deformed Korteweg–de Vries (dKdV) equatIons are derived for quantum Ion Acoustic Waves in an unmagnetized two species quantum plasma system, comprised of electrons and Ions, by the reductive perturbatIon technique in the weakly nonlinear limit. The properties of quantum Ion Acoustic solitary Waves are studied taking into account the quantum mechanical effects in a nonplanar cylindrical or spherical geometry, which differs from one-dimensIonal planar geometry. Both analytical and numerical solutIons of the dKdV equatIons are discussed in some detail. There exists a critical value of quantum parameters beyond which the quantum Ion Acoustic soliton collapses. It is also found that for the critical values of H, viz., H=2, some nontrivial analytical solutIon exists for both cylindrical and spherical dKdV equatIons.

  • Cylindrical and spherical Ion Acoustic Waves in a plasma with nonthermal electrons and warm Ions
    Physics of Plasmas, 2005
    Co-Authors: Biswajit Sahu, Rajkumar Roychoudhury
    Abstract:

    Using the reductive perturbatIon technique, nonlinear cylindrical and spherical Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV equatIons are derived for Ion Acoustic Waves in an unmagnetized plasma consisting of warm adiabatic Ions and nonthermal electrons. The effects of nonthermally distributed electrons on cylindrical and spherical Ion Acoustic Waves are investigated. It is found that the nonthermality has a very significant effect on the nature of Ion Acoustic Waves.

  • exact solutIons of cylindrical and spherical dust Ion Acoustic Waves
    Physics of Plasmas, 2003
    Co-Authors: Biswajit Sahu, Rajkumar Roychoudhury
    Abstract:

    Cylindrical and spherical modified Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equatIons are derived for dust Ion Acoustic Waves. It is shown that a suitable coordinate transformatIon reduces the cylindrical KdV equatIon into the ordinary KdV equatIon which can be solved analytically. A completely different analytical solutIon is obtained using the group analysis method. However, for cylindrical and spherical modified KdV equatIons group analysis method yields trivial analytical solutIons. Numerically, solutIons to these modified KdV equatIons are obtained assuming initial profiles similar to those in one-dimensIonal soliton solutIons.

  • evolutIon of nonlinear dust Ion Acoustic Waves in an inhomogeneous plasma
    Physics of Plasmas, 2006
    Co-Authors: Delong Xiao, J X, Yangfang Li, M. Y. Yu
    Abstract:

    The propagatIon of nonlinear dust-Ion-Acoustic Waves in an inhomogeneous dusty plasma is studied. At small but finite amplitudes, the wave evolutIon is governed by a modified Korteweg–deVries Burgers equatIon, whose coefficients are space dependent. The properties of the evolutIon equatIon are analyzed and the behavior of the corresponding shock and soliton solutIons is numerically studied. If dust-charge perturbatIon is neglected, there exists a zero-nonlinearity point where the coefficient of the nonlinear term changes from negative to positive. At that point the nonlinear wave also undergoes structural deformatIon. If the dust-charge perturbatIon is taken into account, the zero-nonlinearity point may not appear and the soliton or shock wave will retain its form during the propagatIon.

  • Ion Acoustic Waves in a dust contaminated plasma
    Physical Review E, 1999
    Co-Authors: S V Vladimirov, Kostya Ostrikov, M. Y. Yu
    Abstract:

    A self-consistent theory of Ion-Acoustic Waves in dusty gas discharge plasmas is presented. The plasma is contaminated by fine dust particles with variable charge. The statIonary state of the plasma and the dispersIon and damping characteristics of the Waves are investigated accounting for IonizatIon, recombinatIon, dust charge relaxatIon, and dissipatIon due to electron and Ion elastic collisIons with neutrals and dusts, as well as charging collisIons with the dusts.

  • Nonlinear Ion-Acoustic Waves in a collisIonal plasma
    Physical Review A, 1993
    Co-Authors: Sergey V. Vladimirov, M. Y. Yu
    Abstract:

    It is shown that finite-amplitude Ion-Acoustic Waves in a collisIon-dominated plasma are described by a Korteweg-de Vries-Burger equatIon, which has the same form, but with very different scaling and parameter dependence from that describing Ion-Acoustic Waves in a weakly collisIonal plasma

  • three dimensIonal nonlinear modified zakharov kuznetsov equatIon of Ion Acoustic Waves in a magnetized plasma
    Computers & Mathematics With Applications, 2016
    Co-Authors: Aly R Seadawy
    Abstract:

    The nonlinear three-dimensIonal modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equatIon governs the behavior of weakly nonlinear Ion-Acoustic Waves in a plasma comprising cold Ions and hot isothermal electrons in a presence of a uniform magnetic field. By using the reductive perturbatIon procedure leads to a mZK equatIon governing the propagatIon of Ion dynamics of nonlinear Ion-Acoustic Waves in a plasma. The mZK equatIon has solutIons that represent solitary traveling Waves. We found the electrostatic field potential and electric field in form traveling wave solutIons for three-dimensIonal mZK equatIon. The solutIons for the mZK equatIon are obtained precisely and efficiency of the method can be demonstrated. The stability of solitary traveling wave solutIons of the mZK equatIon to three-dimensIonal long-wavelength perturbatIons are investigated.

  • stability analysis for two dimensIonal Ion Acoustic Waves in quantum plasmas
    Physics of Plasmas, 2014
    Co-Authors: Aly R Seadawy
    Abstract:

    The quantum hydrodynamic model is applied to two-dimensIonal Ion-Acoustic Waves in quantum plasmas. The two-dimensIonal quantum hydrodynamic model is used to obtain a deformed Kortewegde Vries (dKdV) equatIon by reductive perturbatIon method. By using the solutIon of auxiliary ordinary equatIons, a extended direct algebraic method is described to construct the exact solutIons for nonlinear quantum dKdV equatIon. The present results are describing the generatIon and evolutIon of such Waves, their interactIons, and their stability.

  • stability analysis for zakharov kuznetsov equatIon of weakly nonlinear Ion Acoustic Waves in a plasma
    Computers & Mathematics With Applications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Aly R Seadawy
    Abstract:

    The Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equatIon is an isotropic nonlinear evolutIon equatIon, first derived for weakly nonlinear Ion-Acoustic Waves in a strongly magnetized lossless plasma in two dimensIons. In the present study, by applying the extended direct algebraic method, we found the electric field potential, electric field and magnetic field in the form of traveling wave solutIons for the two-dimensIonal ZK equatIon. The solutIons for the ZK equatIon are obtained precisely and the efficiency of the method can be demonstrated. The stability of these solutIons and the movement role of the Waves are analyzed by making graphs of the exact solutIons.

  • linear and nonlinear quantum Ion Acoustic Waves in dense magnetized electron positron Ion plasmas
    Physics of Plasmas, 2008
    Co-Authors: S A Khan, W Masood
    Abstract:

    The linear and nonlinear quantum Ion-Acoustic Waves propagating obliquely in two dimensIons in superdense, magnetized electron-positron-Ion quantum plasma are investigated on the basis of quantum hydrodynamic model. It is found in linear analysis that the quantum correctIons of diffractIon are important in the very short wavelength regime that may be found in dense astrophysical plasmas. To investigate the solitary Waves, the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equatIon is derived and the solutIon is presented in the small amplitude limit. By numerical analysis, it is found that the soliton structure of the Ion Acoustic wave depends upon quantum pressure, concentratIon of positrons, strength of magnetic field, and the propagatIon angle.

  • linear and nonlinear dust Ion Acoustic Waves in ultracold quantum dusty plasmas
    Physics of Plasmas, 2007
    Co-Authors: S A Khan, A Mushtaq
    Abstract:

    By considering the one-dimensIonal quantum hydrodynamic model for a three-species ultracold quantum dusty plasma, the properties of dust-Ion-Acoustic Waves are studied. The dispersIon relatIon in the linear regime and the Korteweg–de Vries equatIon in the nonlinear regime are derived by incorporating quantum correctIons. The quantum-mechanical effects through quantum diffractIon and quantum statistics as well as the role of immobile charged dust particulates are studied both analytically and numerically. It is found that the amplitude and width of the dust Ion Acoustic solitary Waves are significantly affected by the quantum correctIons and concentratIon of the dust particles.
