PROPERTIES OF THE GENERALIZED SET OF DAVYDOV-ZAKHAROV EQUATIONS

The dynamics of a plasma with magnetized electrons is studied in the t wo-dimensional approximation. The problem is substantially simplified by equalizing the Lagrange invariants in a turbulent plasma. This appr oach makes it possible to generalize the set of Davydov-Zakharov equat ions in order to describe the plasma ion dynamics with allowance for q uasisteady electron motion and a nonzero curl of the generalized elect ron momentum equalized by plasma turbulence. Steady-state self-consist ent equilibrium spectra of plasma turbulence are obtained. A decrease in vorticity of electron motion at the front of a shock wave is analyz ed.
