The propagation of large amplitude ion-acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in a fully relativistic plasma consisting of cold ions and ultra-relativistic hot electrons and positrons is investigated using the Sagdeev pseudopotential method in a relativistic hydrodynamics model. The effects of streaming speed of the plasma fluid, thermal energy, positron density, and positron temperature on large amplitude IASWs are studied by analysis of the pseudopotential structure. It is found that in regions in which the streaming speed of the plasma fluid is larger than that of the solitary wave, by increasing the streaming speed of the plasma fluid, the depth and width of the potential well increase, resulting in narrower solitons with larger amplitude. This behavior is opposite to the case where the streaming speed of the plasma fluid is less than that of the solitary wave. On the other hand, an increase in the thermal energy results in wider solitons with smaller amplitude, because the depth and width of the potential well decrease in that case. Additionally, the maximum soliton amplitude increases and the width becomes narrower as a result of an increase in positron density. It is shown that varying the positron temperature does not have a considerable effect on the width and amplitude of IASWs. The existence of stationary soliton-like arbitary amplitude waves is also predicted in fully relativistic electron-positron-ion (EPI) plasmas. The effects of streaming speed of the plasma fluid, thermal energy, positron density, and positron temperature on these kinds of solitons are the same for large amplitude IASWs.

Beam Mode

Solitary waves in an ion-beam-plasma system are investigated theoretically using the pseudo-potential method, including finite temperatures of plasma ions and beam ions. The beam velocity is high enough to avoid ion-ion instability. Three kinds of solitary waves are possible, corresponding to ion- acoustic waves and to fast and slow space-charge waves in the beam. To observe the formation of solitary waves from an initial positive pulse, numerical simulations are performed. For the slow beam mode, a smaller solitary wave appears at the leading part of the pulse, which is a result of negative nonlinearity and anomalous dispersion of the slow mode, and is the opposite behaviour to the cases of the ion-acoustic wave and to the fast beam mode. Overtaking collisions of a solitary wave with a fast-mode solitary wave or with a slow-mode solitary wave are simulated.

Ion Acoustic

By using the reductive perturbation technique, ion-acoustic waves are studied in a generalised multicomponent plasma. The multiple ions modify drastically the characteristics of the solitary waves. In particular, the negative ions have a critical density at which the nonlinearity of the Korteweg-deVries (K-dV) equation vanishes and the ion-acoustic solitary wave is seen to be described by a modified K-dV (mK-dV) equation. Using higher order nonlinearities, the non-uniform transition of the K-dV equation to the mK-dV equation along with the conservation of the Sagdeev potential is described. Theoretical observations on the existence of the solitary waves, as expected, could be of interest in laboratory plasmas

Geometrical Effects

Propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in generalised multicomponent plasmas bounded by cylindrical and spherical geometries is investigated. At the critical density of negative ions where the nonlinearity of the Korteweg-deVries (K-dV) equation vanishes, the ion-acoustic solitary wave is described by a modified K-dV (mK-dV) equation. It is also emphasised that near the critical density neither the K-dV nor mK-dV equation is sufficient to describe fully the ion-acoustic waves and thus there is a need to derive a further mK-dV (fmK-dV) equation in the vicinity of this critical density. Furthermore, the amplitude variations of the K-dV and mK-dV solitons depending on the limitations of geometrical effects are also discussed, emphasising that the results could be of interest for diagnosing the soliton properties of laboratory plasmas.
