Ion acoustic solitary waves in magneto-rotating plasmas

Propagation of an ion acoustic wave (IAW) in a magnetized electron-ion plasma, which is rotating around an axis at an angle theta with the direction of magnetic field, is studied by incorporating the effects of trapped and untrapped electron distributions. Employing the perturbation scheme, Korteweg-deVries and Schamel's modified KdV equations are derived for the small angle theta which may support the nonlinear IAW on a slow time scale of ion motion. The amplitude and width of the solitary wave in both cases (trapped and untrapped electrons) have been discussed with the effects of oblique rotation and external magnetic field. It is shown that the nonlinear effects considerably influence the propagation of waves in rotating plasmas.
