Excerpt from The Development of Compression Waves in an Adiabatic Two-Fluid Model of a Collision-Free Plasma
The specific problem that is studied here is the following we have a half space of plasma at rest and with uniform density, bounded by a plane perfectly conducting piston, and containing a constant magnetic field parallel to the plane of the piston.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the adiabatic two-fluid model of a collisionless plasma, delving into its mathematical foundations and exploring the complexities of compression waves within this framework. The author presents a generalized discontinuous solution for the steady-state equations, which encompasses strong shocks. By employing numerical methods to solve the time-dependent equations, the book unveils the intricate relationship between steady-state solutions and the behavior of compression waves over time. The author demonstrates that large amplitude compression waves can indeed break, leading to discontinuous solutions. The book elucidates the conditions under which various types of steady-state solutionsâ"solitary waves, periodic waves, and discontinuous solutionsâ"arise. It reveals the existence of a critical shock strength beyond which a discontinuous solution emerges, connecting two distinct constant states. In addition to providing a detailed analysis of the mathematical equations governing collisionless plasmas, this book offers valuable insights into the behavior of these plasmas under compression, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the dynamics of collisionless plasmas.
