Nonlinear evolution of large‐amplitude Alfvén waves in parallel and oblique propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of monochromatic large-amplitude Alfven waves is investigated via MHD numerical simulations, and it is shown that the mother wave decays in a compressive mode, that soon steepens and dissipates thermal energy, and in a backscattered Alfvenic mode with lower amplitude and frequency.

Nonlinear ion acoustic waves in a strongly coupled plasma subject to external electric field

M A Berkovsky
- 01 Jun 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the instability of ion acoustic waves in a collision-dominated two-component plasma immersed in a strong electric field is studied in the frame of the kinetic equation for sound waves.

Influence of Nonlinear Frequency Shifts and Effective Nonlinear Dissipation on Explosive Instabilities

J Weiland
- 01 Jun 1974 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nonlinear frequency shifts and effective nonlinear dissipation on explosive instabilities in the coherent-phase description are studied in the case where the complex second order coupling factors have mutually different phase angles.

Finite-amplitude circularly polarized waves in a magnetized multispecies plasma with drifts

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an exact solution is possible for the propagation parallel to the external magnetic field of right and/or left circularly polarized waves in cold multispecies plasmas with different equilibrium drifts along the magnetic field.

Magnetorotational decay instability in Keplerian disks.

TL;DR: The saturation of the magnetorotational instability in thin Keplerian disks through three-wave resonant interactions is introduced and discussed, and the solutions of those equations exhibit bounded bursty nonlinear oscillations for the MRI as well as unbounded growth for the linearly stable slow Alfvén-Coriolis and magnetosonic perturbations.
