Abstract

The dynamics of nonlinear two-dimensional plasma waves under non-equilibrium conditions is studied in the framework of the two-fluid hydrodynamic approach. The field of initial velocities for a twirling cylindrical plasma is considered as the initial non-equilibrium state. The influence of initial conditions on the formation and existence of nonlinear electron waves is discussed.
