Abstract
A method is developed which permits a two-fluid analysis of wave propagation in a magnetoplasma-filled waveguide including the effects of Hall field, current inertia, space charge, unequal electron and ion temperatures, and diffusion. Maxwell's equations and the two-fluid equations expressed in one-fluid notation are reduced to a pair of coupled wave equations for the longitudinal components of the electromagnetic field. Approximate solutions are obtained for uncoupled TE and TM modes of propagation in a hydromagnetic waveguide. Included is a discussion of the effects of pressure, resistivity, displacement current, and current inertia on the dispersion relations.
