Abstract
- "Supersolitons," the structures associated with the stationary solitary solutions with the Mach number greater than those associated with the double layers, were introduced in 2012. Later, many researchers have reported the existence domain of the supersolitons in different plasma constituents. However, their evolutionary dynamical behavior and stability were main concerns and were not yet explored. We performed fluid simulation of ion acoustic supersolitons in a plasma containing two-temperature electrons having kappa distributions in the presence of cold fluid ions. Our simulation shows that a specific form of the initial perturbation in the equilibrium electron and ion densities can evolve into ion acoustic supersolitons, which maintain their shape and size during their propagation. This is first-ever simulation to confirm the stability of the supersolitons that opens a new era in the field of solitary wave structures in space and laboratory plasmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
