Solitary Waves in Plasmas and in the Atmosphere

by Vladimir .I. Petviashvili, Oleg .A. Pohkotelov ...

First Published in 1992. This book arose as a result of the authors work on the review ‘Solitary Vortices in Plasmas’ written for the Soviet Journal of Plasma Physics. With the development of nonlinear wave theory some novel concepts came into use, such as solitary waves, solitary vortices, and solitons. There is still some inconsistency in the use of these terms. The study of solitary waves ... Read more
