Scientific paper

Plasma fluid equations describing concentration, velocity and temperature are coupled to the nonlinear wave equation in a numerical model of F-region heating by high power radio waves. Self-focusing of radio waves is calculated for plane waves and beams propagating in an underdense ionosphere. Ponderomotive forces are found to be negligible in comparison with thermal forces for self-focusing in the ionosphere. The structure of plasma irregularities near focal points is determined by diffraction of the radio waves.
