Shock Wave in a Cold Collisionless Plasma with Random Inhomogeneous Density Distribution
Abstract
Weakly nonlinear magneto-acoustic wave propagating perpendicularly to the magnetic field in a cold collisionless plasma with random inhomogeneous density distribution is investigated and the existence of shock wave is predicted.
