Strongly Nonlinear Waves in a Plasma
Soviet Physics JETP, Vol. 74, No. 5, Pp. 805-811 (1992)
Abstract
Using kinetic theory we obtain general expressions which describe nonlinear
longitudinal waves in a plasma. In the particular case of a cold plasma
with immobile ions the solutions we find are the same as the results
well known from hydrodynamical considerations. We analyze the qualitative
differences which appear in a plasma where the particles have a finite
temperature.
