Some Aspects of Wave Propagation and the Effect of the Boundaries and Excitations on the Electro-acoustic Spectrum in an Isotropic Compressible Plasma.

Wave phenomena, due to various types of excitations, involving cylindrically stratified regions, are examined by using scalar Green's function formulation.
The general expressions for monochromatic electromagnetic field and density deviations from equilibrium (<eegr><SUBe,i> possesses an anisotropy which disappears when we neglect the effect of ion motion), due to an electric dipole immersed in a two-fluid compressible plasma cylinder in the absence of magnetostatic field, are derived.
The optical and radar observables during re-entry and the effect of the ionized local environment upon communication with a re-entering vehicle are examples of the preseribed various excitations.
The appropriate-Debye shielding, the dielectric fluctuations, and the scattering cross section of an unbounded fluctuating, and thermally non-equilibrium plasma are investigated.
The spectra, due to the oscillating static electric dipole and moving electron in the radially bounded one-fluid compressible plasma are discussed explicitly pertaining to the two types of characteristic dampings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
