Scientific paper

A nonlinear, analytical model is developed to describe equilibrium Alfvén wave structures such as that associated with flow about a conducting obstacle in a flowing plasma. Firstly, in order to give physical insight into the processes involved, the authors discuss two worked examples one of which extends previous models of the Alfvén wave wake produced by the Jovian satellite Io. They describe in detail the fields and, in particular, the current systems associated with the model. Finally, the authors present a general formalism which leads to a general solution that should be applicable in modeling other incompressible space plasma flows.
