✦ Synopsis

A system of nonlinear equations derived in a previous paper which describes the evolution of the beam-plasma instability in strong diesipative plasmas is solved numerically. It is shown that there are three characteristic solutions of the system of equations: the resonant dissipative instability, the nonresonant instability with strong dissipation and the nonresonant dissipative instability. A physicel interpretation of essential features of these instabilities is given. The interaction of resonant nnd nonreaonant waves in the system electron beam-strong dissipative plasma is examined. Some conclusions for the transport problem of electron beams in strong dissipative plasmas are obtained in this paper.
