摘要
High altitude Venus ionosphere is characterized by the presence of H+ and O+ ions as well as electrons. Because of these two positive ions, the ion-acoustic wave (IAW) was observed. Propagation properties of nonlinear IAWs in the Venusian ionosphere are investigated. Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) equation is derived for weakly nonlinear behavior of the IAWs, while Sagdeev pseudo-potential is obtained to study an arbitrary amplitude IAWs. The region for the lower and upper limits of Mach number for the existence of soliton structures are determined. The physical parameters, such as density and temperature ratios, are investigated on the profiles of both weakly and fully nonlinear waves. Furthermore, subsonic waves can exist in the lower ionosphere whereas supersonic waves propagate at higher altitude. This is in good agreement with the observations. (C) 2020 COSPAR.
