The simplest solutions of cold plasma equations: change in properties from a hydrodynamic to a kinetic model
Abstract
We consider the transition from the kinetic model of Landau cold plasma to the hydrodynamic one by constructing a "multi-speed" moment chain in the case of one spatial variable. Closing this chain at the first step leads to the standard hydrodynamic system of cold plasma. The change in the properties of the solution when closing the chain at the second step is discussed using the example of two classes of solutions - affine in space and traveling waves, and it is shown that their properties change significantly compared to the hydrodynamic model.
