Abstract
Stationary cylindrical plasma structures are numerically studied in the simple model within the Davydov-Zakharov formalism. It is shown that such solutions exist in the presence of tangential discontinuities and discontinuity in which a magnetic field, remaining unchanged in magnitude, reverses its direction. The found structures depend on two parameters: the minimum plasma density in the plasma channel and the radius at which this density is reached. The found solutions describe filaments in pinch discharges.
