Localized waves in plasmas at varying magnetic field

By considering the continuity, Navier-Stoks and Poisson's equations in a non-relativistic frame work for plasmas, we study the behavior of small amplitude ion acoustic solitary waves in plasmas under the influence of a varying magnetic field. The result is a nonlinear wave equation which complies with the KdV-Burgers (KdVB) equation, surprisingly in the absence of thermal pressure or any dissipative effects. We show that the complete set of equations, by considering the varying magnetic field, create solitary waves which radiate energy during their traveling in the medium. An interesting result is the existence of small amplitude localized shock profiles beside the solitary waves. Properties of this solitaire solution is studied by considering different values for the environmental characters.
