In this paper, the fractional order models are used to study the propagation of ion-acoustic waves in ultrarelativistic plasmas in nonplanar geometry (cylindrical). Firstly, according to the control equations, (2 + 1)-dimensional (2D) cylindrical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (CKP) equation and 2D cylindrical-modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (CMKP) equation are derived by using multiscale analysis and reduced perturbation methods. Secondly, using the semi-inverse method and the fractional variation principle, the abovementioned equations are derived the time-space fractional equations (TSF-CKP and TSF-CMKP). Furthermore, based on the fractional order transformation, the 1-decay mode solution of the TSF-CKP equation is obtained by using the simplified homogeneous balance method, and using the generalized hyperbolic-function method, the exact analytic solution of TSF-CMKP equation is obtained. Finally, the effects of the phase speed λ, electron number density (through β3) and the fractional order α,β,ω on the propagation of ion-acoustic waves in ultrarelativistic plasmas are analyzed.

Abstract. Observations of naturally enhanced ion acoustic lines (NEIALs) taken with the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) using a mode with very high time resolution are presented. The auroral event took place over Poker Flat, Alaska on 8 February 2007 at 09:35 UT (~22:00 MLT), and the radar data are complemented by common-volume high-resolution auroral imaging. The NEIALs occurred during only one of the standard 15-s integration periods. The raw data of this time show very intermittent NEIALs which occur only during a few very short time intervals (≤1 s) within the 15-s period. The time sampling of the raw data, ~19 ms on average, allows study of the time development of the NEIALs, though there are indications that even finer time resolution would be of interest. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NEIAL returns are the result of Bragg scattering from ion-acoustic waves that have been enhanced significantly above thermal levels. The spectra of the raw data indicate that although the up- and down-shifted shoulders can both become enhanced at the same time, (within 19 ms), they are most often enhanced individually. The overall power in the up-and down-shifted shoulders is approximately equal throughout the event, with the exception of one time, when very large up-shifted power was observed with no corresponding down-shifted power. This indicates that during the 480 μs pulse, the strongly enhanced ion-acoustic waves were only traveling downward and not upward. The exact time that the NEIALs occurred was when the radar beam was on the boundary of a fast-moving (~10 km/s), bright auroral structure, as seen in the high resolution auroral imaging of the magnetic zenith. When viewed with high time resolution, the occurrence of NEIALs is associated with rapid changes in auroral luminosity within the radar field of view due to fast-moving auroral fine structures.

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.
