Ion acoustic waves can be excited by electrons drifting relative to the ions in a plasma. This relative drift can be produced, in a collisional plasma, by a static electric field. In the analysis of this instability, which occurs for frequencies well below the ion plasma frequency, the electron inertia term in the momentum equation is typically neglected. A similar assumption has been employed ...

dust acoustic (da) solitary waves are investigated in an unmagnetized dusty plasma comprising of fluid warm dust particles and kappa distributed ions. we assume the electron number density to be sufficiently depleted in this fluid model, i.e., ne  nd . we consider the usual ad hoc damping term, involving the damping rate  due to the dust–neutral collisions; and derived the modified dis...

A linear stability analysis of ion-acoustic and dust-acoustic waves is carried out using a multifluid model in the presence of ionization, ion drag, and collisions of ions and dust with the background neutral gas. It is found that an unstable dust-acoustic mode of nonzero real frequency can be generated via a resonance phenomenon. This resonance develops as the frequency of the dust-ion-acousti...

Dust acoustic solitary waves are studied in warm dusty plasma containing negatively charged dusts, nonthermal ions and Boltzmann distributed electrons. Sagdeev pseudopotential method is used in order to investigate solitary wave solutions in the plasmas. The existence of compressive and rarefractive solitons is studied. Keywords—Nonthermal, Soliton, Dust, Sagdeev potential

Dust ion-acoustic shocks in a Q machine device are considered. For their description the so-called hydrodynamic ionization source model is used. The model is appropriate for the description of the laboratory experiments in a Q machine device and contains the most important basic mechanisms responsible for the formation of the dust ion-acoustic shocks. A comparative analysis of various dissipati...

The propagation of arbitrary amplitude dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a magnetized collisional dusty plasma including hot electrons, with kappa velocity distribution for electrons, warm ions and dust particles has been studied. In the presence of immobile massive dust particulates, DIAWs have been investigated through the Sagdeev pseudo-potential method. It is demonstrated that the amplitud...

A linear theory of dust acoustic (DA) and dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves in a self-gravitating collisional dusty plasma contaminated by variable-charge impurities is presented for a self-consistent closed system. The ion-drag force arising from the ion orbital motion as well as momentum transfer from all the ions and self-gravitation are taken into consideration. The physical processes, viz., du...

In a plasma containing charged dust grains, the dust acoustic instability (DAI) can be driven by ions streaming through the dust with speed less than the ion thermal speed. When the dust is strongly coupled in the liquid phase, the dispersion relation of the dust acoustic modes changes in a way that leads to an enhancement of the growth rate of the DAI. In this paper, we show how strong couplin...
