Dissipative solitons in magnetized anisotropic plasma

Abstract

The propagation of ion acoustic (IA) dissipative solitons (DSs) is investigated in magnetized plasma with the presence of pressure anisotropy and Maxwellian distributed electrons. A nonlinear damped Korteweg-de-Vries (d-KdV) type equation is derived for the potential by employing the reductive perturbation method (RPM) and its dissipative soliton solution is analyzed. The effect of plasma parameters like parallel anisotropic ion pressure p1, perpendicular anisotropic ion pressure p2, obliqueness l3, ion-neutral collisional parameter γ and magnetic field strength on the characteristics of DSs are investigated. The present investigation could be useful in space and astrophysical plasma systems.
