Spherical Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Solitons in a Suprathermal Complex Plasma

The nonlinear aspects of nonplanar dust acoustic (DA) solitary waves are investigated in an unmagnetized complex plasma comprising of cold dust grains,kappa-distributed ions as well as electrons.The nonplanar DA solitons are studied based on the reductive perturbation technique.It is shown that the evolution of DA solitons is governed by a spherical Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (sKP) equation and then the impact of suprathermality on the spatial structure as well as the nature of DA soliton is studied.It seems that the properties of DA solitons in nonplanar geometry are quite different from that of the planar solitons.
