Fluid Model simulations of 2D Alfven wave soliton structures in a 3D Electromagnetic plasma

摘要

The Alfvén wave is a fundamental propagation mode in plasmas. Such waves are hydromagnetic in nature, occurring as fluid perturbations in plasmas under a magnetic field which drive them along the field lines. Related coherent nonlinear structures such as solitons can also occur in such plasmas and can be similarly driven by the magnetic field.
