Abstract
Moving cylindrical current structures in plasma are described in a simple model using the Davydov–Zakharov formalism. Numerical calculations confirm the existence of solutions with tangential discontinuities and the discontinuities in which the magnetic field changes its direction to opposite. Both subsonic and supersonic solutions are obtained.
