Strongly nonlinear plasma oscillations in a cold plasma are investigated in the wave breaking regime using the two‐fluid model. The electrons are described in Lagrangian coordinates; the ions are described by the usual Eulerian coordinates. The mod

A one‐dimensional hybrid simulation model incorporating one of the Zakharov equations for the high‐frequency waves and a particle‐in‐cell (PIC) simulation of the ions is described and applied to ionospheric heating using realistic parameters.

Ionospheric heating leads to strong Langmuir turbulence including modulational instability, soliton formation, and spatial collapse. The Zakharov model usually used to describe these effects contains a low-frequency ion-acoustic wave equation which c

RF modifiers at some existing ionosheric heating facilities are found to be sufficiently intense for the production of (collapsing) solitons. Considering the detection of these solitons using Thomson radar, we treat the problem of an electromagnetic

The analytic theory of weak Langmuir turbulence is well known, but very little has previously been done to compare its predictions with numerical solutions of the basic dynamical evolution equations. In this paper, numerical solutions of the statisti

We describe a model for first stage electron acceleration based on quasi-linear interaction with Langmuir waves. The acceleration takes place in a MHD-unstable plasma region (length L, volume V) that contains many microscopically unstable current lay

Progress in two approaches to the study of strong Langmuir turbulence is reported. In two spatial dimensions, numerical solution of the Zakharov equations yields a steady state involving linear growth, linear damping, and a collection of coherent, lo

Solutions to linear wave equations can always be expressed as a superposition of special solutions called plane waves. Some solutions to an important class of nonlinear wave equations can be thought of as a superposition of special solutions called s
