The Nonlinear Langmuir Waves in a Multi-ion-Component Plasma

We investigated the nonlinear Langmuir waves in a multi-ion-component low-temperature plasma. Beginning with the fluid theory of plasma, and taking fully nonlinear response of the low-frequency ion motion into account, we derived a set of equations governing the nonlinear coupling of the amplitude of the Langmuir wave and the low-frequency perturbation density. Using the Sagdeev potential method, we analyzed the characteristics of solitary wave. In the limit of small amplitude, the envelope soliton was found. Our investigation demonstrates that the properties of soliton in a multi-ion-component plasma are different from those of soliton in an electron-ion plasma.     

Time-Dependent Cylindrical and Spherical Solitary Structures and Double Layers of Dust Ion-Acoustic Waves in Ultra-Relativistic Dense Plasma

Cylindrical and spherical (nonplanar) solitary waves (SWs) and double layers (DLs) in a multi-ion plasma system (containing inertial positively as well as negatively charged ions, non-inertial degenerate electrons, and negatively charged static dust) are studied by employing the standard reductive perturbation method. The modified Gardner (MG) equation describing the nonlinear propagation of the dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves is derived, and its nonplanar SWs and DLs solutions are numerically analyzed. The parametric regimes for the existence of SWs, which are associated with both positive and negative potential, and DLs which are associated with negative potential, are obtained. The basic features of nonplanar DIA SWs, and DLs, which are found to be different from planar ones, are also identified.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Laser Interaction with High Z Plasma

The formation and evolution of a plasma in the interaction of laser radiation with gold targets are studied by computer simulations using MHD code (ESC-CASTOR). The nonlinear features of the interaction including the absorption of laser radiation, heating of the plasma components, and the deformation of the density profile under the action of the ponderomotive force are discussed. The role of these nonlinear effects together and the influence of the radiative and collisional transport in the evolution of the density profile are discussed based on the numerically obtained two-dimensional dynamical structures of the hydrodynamic parameter (electron density n_e, ion density n_i, electron temperature T_e, ion temperature T_i), radiation temperature T_r, ponderomotive force profile, and the space-time dependencies of the absorption efficiency and the ionization rates. The radiation spectrum is analyzed and the regularities in the motion of the critical density surface are clarified.     

Nonlinear Dust Acoustic Waves in Strongly Coupled Dusty Plasmas with Positively Charged Dust Particles

The nonlinear propagation of dust acoustic waves is investigated in four-component plasmas consisting of positively charged dust grains, trapped ions, nonthermal electrons, and photoelectron due to ultraviolet irradiation.We use generalized viscoelastic hydrodynamic model for strongly coupled dust grain. In the weak nonlinearity limit, a modified Kadomstev–Petviashvili(KP) equation and a modified KP-Burger equation, which have a damping term coming from nonadiabatic charge variation, have been derived in the kinetic regime and hydrodynamic regime, respectively. With the increasing of UV photon flux, the hydrodynamic regime changes to kinetic regime. The approximate analytical line soliton and shock solutions are investigated in the kinetic regime and hydrodynamic regime, respectively.

Impurity Driven Linear and Nonlinear MHD Cylindrical Waves in a Three Species Plasma

The propagation of axisymmetric linear and nonlinear dispersive waves in a three species plasma to include the thermoelectrostatic effects together with the dissipative effects of main ions has been discussed. The impurity driven MHD fluid modes have been examined when the electrostatic drift has been taken into account. We have discussed the linear propagation of dispersive cylindrical waves in the plasma system for different ion thermal phase number. The thermal force resulting from the collisions between main ion and impurity ion densities (i.e. α_iI = 0) has been neglected. The shock waves and the soliton solutions are obtained for two different cases of the non-collisional plasma and the non-dissipative plasma.     

Nonplanar Electrostatic Solitary Waves in a Relativistic Degenerate Dense Plasma

By employing the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of cylindrical and spherical ion acoustic solitary waves is studied in an unmagnetized dense relativistic plasma, consisting of relativistically degenerate electrons and cold fluid ions. A modified Korteweg-de-Vries equation is derived and its numerical solutions have been analyzed to identify the basic features of electrostatic solitary structures that may form in such a degenerate Fermi plasma. Different degrees of relativistic electron degeneracy are discussed and compared. It is found that increasing number density leads to decrease the amplitude the width of the ion acoustic solitary wave in both the cylindrical and spherical geometries. The relevance of the work to the compact astrophysical objects, particularly white dwarfs is pointed out.     

The Nonlinear Essence of Gravitational Waves

A critical review of gravitational wave theory is made. It is pointed out that the usual linear approach to the gravitational wave theory is neither conceptually consistent nor mathematically justified. Relying upon that analysis it is argued that—analogously to a Yang-Mills propagating field, which must be nonlinear to carry its gauge charge—a gravitational wave must necessarily be nonlinear to transport its own charge—that is, energy-momentum.     

Modulational Instability of Ion-Acoustic Waves in a Warm Plasma with a Relativistic Electron Beam

The modulational instability of ion-acoustic wave in a collisionless, unmagnetized plasma consisting ofwarm ions, hot isothermal electrons, and relativistic electron beam is studied. A modified nonlinear Schrodinger equationincluding one additional term that comes from the effect of relativistic electron beam is derived. It is found that theinclusion of a relativistic electron beam would modify the modulational instability of the wave packet and could notadmit any stationary soliton waves.

Influence of Negative Ions on Drift Waves in a Low‐Density Ar/O2‐Plasma

The effect of negative ions on the drift wave instability has been studied in detail in a linear device by means of Langmuir probes and cross‐correlation analysis. Drift waves are excited in low‐density (5 × 10¹⁴ m^–3) and strongly magnetized (0.5 T) pure argon plasmas and in the presence of an oxygen admixture. The radial density profile of negative ions is hollow. For increasing concentration of negative ions the wave frequency decreases by about 25%. Despite of an axial density gradient, a global wave frequency is established for the entire column length. While for the noble gas case the drift wave frequency is given by the equilibrium plasma parameters in the mid‐plane, there is no such relationship for the argon plasma with oxygen admixture. This different finding is attributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of the negative ions (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Dynamics of Controllable Optical Rogue Waves in Presence of Quintic Nonlinearity and Nonlinear Dispersion Effects

We analytically study optical rogue waves in the presence of quintic nonlinearity and nonlinear dispersion effects. Dynamics of the rogue waves are investigated through the precise expressions of their peak, valley, trajectory, and width. Based on this, the properties of a few specific rogue waves are demonstrated in detail, and the dynamical evolution of rogue waves can be well controlled under different nonlinearity management. It shows that the peak reaches its maximum and the valley becomes minimized when the width evolves to the minimum value. Moreover, we find that the higher-order effects here achieve balance due to the integrability, and they only influence the rogue waves' trajectory.     

The Frequency of Nonlinear Plasma Waves

We study steady-state plane nonlinear plasma waves in a cold collisionless plasma in the absence of a magnetic field. The main conclusion following from the performed analysis is that allowance for the motion of the ion component of the plasma is of fundamental importance when studying nonlinear plasma waves. It is shown that, in general, the frequency of waves is essentially determined by the ion-component mass and depends equally on the velocity and amplitude of the waves. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 48, No. 6, pp. 502–516, June 2005.     

Nonlinear Waves in Nonuniform Complex Astrocloud

The global nonlinear gravito‐electrostatic eigen‐fluctuation behaviors in large‐scale non‐uniform complex astroclouds in quasi‐neutral hydrodynamic equilibrium are methodologically analyzed. Its composition includes warm lighter electrons, ions; and massive bi‐polar multi‐dust grains (inertial) with partial ionization sourced, via plasma‐contact electrification, in the cloud plasma background. The multi‐fluidic viscous drag effects are conjointly encompassed. The naturalistic equilibrium inhomogeneities, gradient forces and nonlinear convective dynamics are considered without any recourse to the Jeans swindle against the traditional perspective. An inho‐mogeneous multiscale analytical method is meticulously applied to derive a new conjugated non‐integrable coupled (via zeroth‐order factors) pair of variable‐coefficient inhomogeneous Korteweg de‐Vries Burger (i ‐KdVB) equations containing unique form of non‐uniform linear self‐consistent gradient‐driven sinks. A numerical illustrative scheme is procedurally constructed to examine the canonical fluctuations. It is seen that the eigenspectrum coevolves as electrostatic rarefactive damped oscillatory shock‐like structures and self‐gravitational compressive damped oscillatory shock‐like patterns . The irregular damping nature is attributable to the i ‐KdVB sinks. The aperiodicity in the hybrid rapid small downstream wavetrains is speculated to be deep‐rooted in the quasi‐linear gravito‐electrostatic interplay. The phase‐evolutionary dynamics grow as atypical non‐chaotic fixed‐point attractors . We, finally, indicate tentative astronomical applications relevant in large‐scale cosmic structure formation aboard facts and faults. (© 2016 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Asymmetry in Negative Refraction of Nonlinear Waves

Recently, inwardly propagating waves （called antiwaves, AWs） in nonlinear oscillatory systems have attracted much attention. An interesting negative refraction phenomenon has been observed in a bidomain system where one medium supports forwardly propagating waves （normal waves, NWs） and the other AWs. In this paper we find that negative refraction （NR） in nonlinear media has an asymmetric property, i.e., NR can be observed only by applying wave source with proper frequency to one medium, but not the other. Moreover, NR appears always when the incident waves are dense and the refractional waves are sparse. This asymmetry is a particular feature for nonlinear NR, which can neither be observed in linear refraction processes （both positive and negative refractions） nor in nonlinear positive refraction. The mechanism underlying the asymmetry of nonlinear NR are fully understood based on the competition of nonlinear waves.     

Axisymmetric Nonlinear Modulated Waves in a Cylindrical Shell

A quasi-hyperbolic equation is derived that simulates the axisymmetric propagation of bending waves in a cylindrical shell, which interacts with a nonlinearly elastic medium. With the correct asymptotic procedure, the study of a wave process reduces to analysis of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is established that the development of modulation instability requires a “soft” nonlinearity of the medium surrounding the shell. Operating modes that allow the propagation of stable light envelope solitons are revealed.
