Abstract

A self-consistent reductive perturbation analysis for parallel-propagating magnetohydrodynamic waves in warm multi-species plasmas, in which different constituents can have differing equilibrium drifts, leads to a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the wave magnetic field. Soliton solutions are discussed, including applications to plasmas with two ion species. Such solitons are larger (in amplitude) and wider than in the non-streaming and/or cold-plasma case, other parameters being equal.
