SOLUTION OF ION‐ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN PLASMA—THE ONE DIMENSIONAL CASE

Abstract

Ion‐acoustic wave propagation in plasma is discussed. Analytical and numerical solutions are given for one‐dimensional plane waves. The similarity of the ion‐acoustic waves to the waves associated with an electrical transmission line is pointed out and the solved examples are compared with experimental observations.
