Abstract:
The main interest is to study the nonlinear acoustic waves in rotating plasma augmented through the derivation of a modified Sagdeev potential equation. Small rotation approximation causes the interaction of Coriolis force in the dynamics, and leads to the complexity in the derivation of the nonlinear wave phenomena. Pseudopotential method has been used to derive the Sagdeev-like wave equation with a view to exhibit the changes in solitary wave propagation. Some special methods have been developed to exhibit the salient features of the nonlinear waves which could be of interest in laboratory as well as in astroplasmas. As a result, findings of the compressive and rarefactive solitons along with the formation of shock waves, double layers, sinh-wave in rotating plasma ought to be of merit. Moreover, studies have expected exciting observations in generating the high energies which, in turns, yields the phenomena of soliton radiation and explosions or bursting of the solitary waves. Further, to support the theoretical investigations, some typical plasma parameters have been taken for the graphical presentation of the waves.
