Nonlinear magnetoacoustic waves in a weakly inhomogeneous plasma
Keyword(s):
Nonlinear magnetoacoustic waves in a weakly inhomogeneous plasma are analysed by reductive perturbation method. One-dimensionai spatial variations are considered in the equilibrium state (density, temperature, and magnetic field) of the system. The governing equation turns out to be a modified Korteweg – de Vries equation which includes damping effects. It is found that the combined effect of the temperature and magnetic field inhomogeneities on the solitary wave amplitude is such that each inhomogeneity counterinfluences the other.
