Abstract
A wave-number-in-cell code was developed for simulation of a model proposed by Vendenov, Gordeev, and Rudakov for studying weak Langmuir turbulence. The model uses a WKB approach for describing the Langmuir wave field. Theoretical results for damping of ion acoustic waves caused by resonant interaction of Langmuir waves with group velocity around the sound speed were confirmed. Simulations corresponding to an initial condition with an intense wave burst demonstrate a formation of almost stationary localized cavities of intense wideband self-trapped Langmuir wave fields. These cavities have features in common with phase-space vortices.
