  • Abstract
    The self-similar behavior of a single species charged gas which is described by the nonlinear equations of continuity and motion and Poisson´s equation is ascertained. Analytical solutions are derived for two possible sources; a suddenly created time dependent source of charge at some point in space and a sudden creation of a time-dependent voltage at some point in space acting on a burst of charge.
