Abstract
One-dimensional evolution of solitons in a two-fluid plasma having weakly relativistic streaming ions and electrons is studied through usual Korteweg–de Vries equation under the effect of electron inertia. Although fast and slow ion acoustic modes are possible in such a plasma, only the fast mode corresponds to the soliton propagation for a particular range of velocity difference of ions and electrons. This range depends upon the ratios of mass and temperature of the ions and electrons. The effect of electron inertia on the propagation characteristics of the soliton is studied for typical values of the speed and temperature of the ions and electrons and it is found that this effect is dominant over the relativistic effect and the effect of ion temperature.
