NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE EIGEN MODES OF THE ABSOLUTE DECAY PARAMETRIC INSTABILITY OF INHOMOGENEOUS PLASMA AT THE NONLINEAR STAGE
Abstract
A mathematical model for the nonlinear absolute decay parametric instability of inhomogeneous plasma is developed. Decay of the Langmuir pump wave on the Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves is considered in detail. The numerical solutions describing the eigen modes of the instability are obtained. It is shown that at the nonlinear stage of the instability, a depletion of a pump wave and a broadening of an ion-acoustic wave spectrum are observed. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental ones.
