Nonlinear Landau damping of large-amplitude Langmuir waves and formation of standing nonlinear waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The interaction of nonlinear Langmuir wave packets corresponding to periodic solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with thermal plasma particles is considered. The mechanism of interaction is nonlinear Landau damping. The wave packets are slowed down owing to interaction but their amplitudes remain essentially unchanged. The characteristic scale lengths of the slowing down are determined.
