Abstract
Propagation properties of weakly nonlinear ion acoustic waves are investigated in a plasma at the Venusian ionosphere. The plasma model consists of two positive cold ions (oxygen O
+ and hydrogen H
+), as well as isothermal electrons. The basic set of fluid equations is reduced to Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and linear inhomogeneous ZK-type equation (LIZKT) equation. The renormalization method is adopted to obtain solitary solutions of both equations. The effects of plasma parameters and higher-order correction on the nature of the solitary waves are investigated. It is found that the wave phase velocity is supersonic, which is in agreement with the observations. Furthermore, the higher-order correction enlarges the soliton amplitude, which is suitable for describing the solitary waves when the wave amplitude grows.
