Semi-analytical study of variable charge dust acoustic solitary waves in a dusty plasma with a q-nonextensive ion velocity distribution

An attempt is made to study variable charge dust acoustic (DA) solitons within the theoretical framework of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. The correct nonextensive ion charging current is presented for the first time based on the orbit motion limited (OML) approach. The variable dust charge is then expressed in terms of the Lambert function and we take advantage of this transcendental function to investigate nonlinear localized DA waves in a charge varying dusty plasma with nonextensive ions more rigorously. Our results reveal that the ion nonextensivity makes the dust acoustic solitary structure more spiky. As the ions deviate from their thermodynamic equilibrium, the dust grain charge becomes least negative and the dust accumulation more effective. In addition, the nonextensive character of the ions contributes to the electron depletion. The latter is more pronounced as the ions evolve far away from their thermal equilibrium. Our results should help in providing a good fit between theoretical and experimental results.

Effects of the dust charge variation and non-thermal ions on multi-dimensional dust acoustic solitary structures in magnetized dusty plasmas

The combined effects of both adiabatic dust charge variation and non-thermally (fast) distributed ions on dust acoustic solitary structures are studied in a magnetized dusty plasmas consisting of the negatively and variably charged hot dust fluid, Boltzmann distributed electrons and non-thermally distributed ions. By using the reductive perturbation method, we derive the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation governing the dust acoustic solitary waves. It is shown that the dust charge variation and the presence of non-thermally distributed ions would modify the nature of dust acoustic solitary structures significantly and may excite both dust acoustic solitary holes (soliton with a density dip) and positive solitons (soliton with a density hump).     

Solitary waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions

Propagation of nonlinear waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions is analyzed. The Kadomtsev–Petviashivili (KP) equation is derived by using the reductive perturbation theory. A Sagdeev potential for this system has been proposed. This potential is used to study the stability conditions and existence of solitonic solutions. Also, it is shown that a rarefactive soliton can be propagates in most of the cases. The soliton energy has been calculated and a linear dispersion relation has been obtained using the standard normal-modes analysis. The effects of variable dust charge on the amplitude, width and energy of the soliton and its effects on the angular frequency of linear wave are discussed too. It is shown that the amplitude of solitary waves of KP equation diverges at critical values of plasma parameters. Solitonic solutions of modified KP equation with finite amplitude in this situation are derived.     

Multidimensional dust acoustic solitary waves in inhomogeneous magnetized dusty plasmas with nonthermal ions

The linear dispersion relation and a modified variable coefficients Korteweg–de Vries (MKdV) equation governing the three-dimensional dust acoustic solitary waves are obtained in inhomogeneous dusty plasmas comprised of negatively charged dust grains of equal radii, Boltzmann distributed electrons and nonthermally distributed ions. The numerical results show that the inhomogeneity, the nonthermal ions, the external magnetic field and the collision have strong influence on the frequency and the nonlinear properties of dust acoustic solitary waves and both dust acoustic solitary holes (soliton with a density dip) and positive solitons (soliton with a density hump) are excited.     

Analytical study of nonlinear dust acoustic waves in two-dimensional dust plasma with vortex-like ion distribution

The nonlinear dust acoustic waves in two-dimensional dust plasma with vortex-like ion distribution are analytically investigated by using the formally variable separation approach. New analytical solutions for the governing equation of this system have been obtained for dust acoustic waves in a dust plasma for the first time. We derive exact analytical expressions for the general case of the nonlinear dust acoustic waves in two-dimensional dust plasma with vortex-like ion distribution.     

Higher order solution of the dust ion acoustic solitons in a warm dusty plasma with vortex-like electron distribution

The ratios of dust to free electron and free to trapped electron temperatures are examined in warm dusty plasmas with vortex-like electron distribution through the derivation of a modified Korteweg–de Vries (MKdV) equation using a reductive perturbation theory. As the wave amplitude increases, the width and velocity of the soliton deviate from the prediction of the MKdV equation, i.e., the breakdown of the MKdV approximation. To describe the soliton of larger amplitude, the MKdV equation with the fifth-order dispersion term is employed and its higher-order solutions are obtained.     

Solitary waves in self-gravitating dusty plasma

The electrostatic dust acoustic wave is studied in a uniform gravitating dusty plasma, when the self-gravitation does alter the linear modes given by the dispersion relation. It is observed that instead of a single nonlinear equation we get two coupled KdV-like systems. It is observed that such a system can sustain solitary-wave-like excitations under suitable conditions on the plasma parameters. Such an analysis is very important in ascertaining the fate of a grain orbiting around a magnetized planet in space, where there is a competition between magnetic and gravitational forces. And this in turn gives rise to the question of magnetogravitational instability, which plays an important role in star formation. It is observed that the gravitational soliton's amplitude, being proportional to the Jeans frequency, is always smaller compared to the electrostatic counterpart.     

The formally variable separation approach for the dust-acoustic solitary waves with dust charge variation

The formally variable separation approach is used for handling the dust-acoustic solitary waves in a dusty plasma, including consideration of dust charge variation. New analytical solutions of nonlinear waves are formally derived for the governing equation of the system. We have triumphantly derived the exact analytical expressions and some approximate expressions of the nonlinear dust-acoustic waves in a dusty plasma under some special cases. The work introduces entirely new solutions and emphasizes the power of the newly developed method that can be used in problems with identical nonlinearities.

3+1 dimensional envelop waves and its stability in magnetized dusty plasma

It is well known that there are envelope solitary waves in unmagnetized dusty plasmas which are described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). A three dimension nonlinear Schrodinger equation for small but finite amplitude dust acoustic waves is first obtained for magnetized dusty plasma in this paper. It suggest that in magnetized dusty plasmas the envelope solitary waves exist. The modulational instability for three dimensional NLSE is studied as well. The regions of stability and instability are well determined in this paper.

Both the temperature of the dust grains and the charge variations of dust grains affect the instability regions of the dusty plasmas. It also affect the amplitude and the width of the envelop soliton.

Charge density fluctuation of low frequency in a dusty plasma

The charge density fluctuation of low frequency in a dusty plasma, which is derived from the longitudinal dielectric permittivity of the dusty plasma, has been studied by kinetic theory. The results show that theP value, which describes the relative charge density on the dust in the plasma, and the charging frequency of a dust particle Ω _c , which describes the ratio of charge changing of the dust particles, determine the character of the charge density fluctuation of low frequency. For a dusty plasma ofP≪1, when the charging frequency Ω _c , is much smaller than the dusty plasma frequency ω_d, there is a strong charge density fluctuation which is of character of dust acoustic eigenwave. For a dusty plasma ofP≫1, when the frequency Ω _c , is much larger than ω _d there are weaker fluctuations with a wide spectrum. The results have been applied to the ionosphere and the range of radius and density of dust particles is found, where a strong charge density fluctuation of low frequency should exist.     

Propagation of harmonic waves in prestressed fiber viscoelastic thick tubes filled with a viscous dusty fluid

In this work, propagation of harmonic waves in initially stressed cylindrical viscoelastic thick tubes filled with a Newtonian fluid is studied. The tube, subjected to a static inner pressure P_i and a positive axial stretch λ, will be considered as an incompressible viscoelastic and fibrous material. The fluid is assumed as an incompressible, viscous and dusty fluid. The field equations for the fluid are obtained in the cylindrical coordinates. The governing differential equations of the tube’s viscoelastic material are obtained also in the cylindrical coordinates utilizing the theory of small deformations superimposed on large initial static deformations. For the axially symmetric motion the field equations are solved by assuming harmonic wave solutions. A closed form solution can be obtained for equations governing the fluid body, but due to the variability of the coefficients of resulting differential equations of the solid body, such a closed form solution is not possible to obtain. For that reason, equations for the solid body and the boundary conditions are treated numerically by the finite-difference method to obtain the effects of the thickness of the tube on the wave characteristics. Dispersion relation is obtained using the long wave approximation and, the wave velocities and the transmission coefficients are computed.     

Painlevé property, auto-Bäcklund transformation and analytic solutions of a variable-coefficient modified Korteweg-de Vries model in a hot magnetized dusty plasma with charge fluctuations

Under investigation in this paper is a variable-coefficient modified Korteweg-de Vries (vc-mKdV) model in a hot magnetized dusty plasma with charge fluctuations. With symbolic computation and bilinear method, Painlevé property is studied, auto-Bäcklund transformation is constructed, while soliton and other analytic solutions are obtained. Furthermore, influence of the coefficients on the dust-ion-acoustic (DIA) solitary wave propagation is investigated based on the soliton solution, which can be concluded as follows: (i) Amplitude of the DIA solitary wave is proportional to the square of the ratio of the coefficients of the dispersive to nonlinear terms; (ii) Velocity of the DIA solitary wave is controlled by the coefficients of the dispersive and dissipative terms; (iii) Propagation trajectory of the DIA solitary wave depends on the function forms of the coefficients of the dispersive, nonlinear and dissipative terms.
