Linear and nonlinear ion-acoustic waves are studied in a fluid model for nonrelativistic, unmagnetized quantum plasma with electrons with an arbitrary degeneracy degree. The equation of state for electrons follows from a local Fermi-Dirac distribution function and applies equally well both to fully degenerate and classical, nondegenerate limits. Ions are assumed to be cold. Quantum diffraction ...

Propagation of dust acoustic waves (DAWs) with the effect of power law dust size distribution (DSD) in a magnetized dusty plasma with opposite polarity dust is studied. Using a reductive perturbation method, a Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation appropriate for describing three-dimensional DAWs is derived. The compressive and rarefactive solitons are possible in the present model. Due to the DSD effect...

A fluid analysis of the excitation of dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves in a collisional dusty plasma is presented. The DIA waves are excited by a relative drift of the electrons and ions produced by a steady-state electric field applied to the plasma. The DIA instability is more easily excited if the relative concentration of negatively charged dust is increased.

A series of numerical simulations based on a recurrence-free Vlasov kinetic model using kinetic phase point trajectories are presented. Electron-ion plasmas and three-component (electron-iondust) dusty or complex plasmas are considered, via independent simulations. Considering all plasma components modeled through a kinetic approach, the linear and nonlinear behavior of ion acoustic excitations...

Abstract The formation of dust ion-acoustic shocks (DIASs) in a four-component quantum plasma whose constituents are electrons, both positive and negative ions and immobile charged dust grains, is studied. The effects of both the dissipation due to kinematic viscosity and the dispersion caused by the charge separation as well as the quantum tunneling due to the Bohm potential are taken into acc...

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., d e n n  . We consider the usual ad hoc damping term, involving the damping rate  due to the dust–neutral collisions; and derived the modified dispers...
