Abstract: (APS)
Calculations of a two-stream instability have been made by following the motion of the phase-space boundaries of an incompressible and constant-density phase-space fluid. Because of the condensation of holes, which to a good approximation act as gravitational particles, large-scale nonlinear pulses develop.
