Higher-order corrections to broadband electrostatic shock noise in auroral zone

Abstract

Nonlinear shock wave structures in collisionless unmagnetized viscous plasma comprised of fluid of cold electron and nonisothermal hot electrons obeying superthermal electron distribution and ions in stationary state are examined. For nonlinear electron acoustic shock waves, a reductive perturbation method was applied to deduce the Burger equation in terms of first order potential. When the shock wave amplitude was enlarged, the steepness and the velocity of the wave sidetrack from Burger equation. We have to resume our calculations to obtain the Burger-type equation with higher order dissipation. The collective solution for the resulting equations has been given by the renormalization method. The effects of spectral index κ, the ratio of the initial equilibrium density of cold electron to hot electrons β, and the kinematic viscosity coefficient η on the broadband electrostatic shock noise in aurora are also argued.
