Title :

Author :
Lonngren, Karl E.
Abstract :
The expansion of a quasi-neutral plasma can be described with the nonlinear equations of continuity and motion for the ions and a Boltzmann relation for the electrons. A general solution for this set which satisfies different boundary conditions is obtained using self-similar techniques.
