Dust Charge Fluctuation

The effects of the dust charge fluctuation and ion temperature on large amplitude ion-acoustic waves are investigated in a plasma with a finite population of negatively charged dust particles, by numerical calculation. The nonlinear structures of ion-acoustic waves are examined, showing that the conditions for existence sensitively depend on the effects of the variable charge of dust grains and ion temperature, electrostatic potential and Mach number. The electrostatic potential on the surface of dust grain particles increases the dust charge number. The effect of the ion temperature increases the propagation speed of the ion-acoustic wave, and decreases the dust charge number. It is found that both compressive and rarefactive solitons can propagate in this system and the criterion for both solitons depends on the ion temperature. The region for existence of large amplitude ion-acoustic waves significantly depends on the dust charging. New findings of large amplitude ion-acoustic waves with variable charge dust grains and finite ion temperature in a dusty plasma are predicted.

AbstractThe propagation of dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a weakly inhomogeneous, weakly coupled, collisionless, and unmagnetized four components dusty plasma are examined. The fluid system considered in this work consists of cold positive ions, cold negatively and positively charged dust particles associated with isothermal electrons. For nonlinear (DIAW) waves, a reductive perturbation method was employed to obtain the variable coefficients Kortewege-de Vries (KdV) equation for the first-order potential. For local inhomogenity, the present system admits the coexistence of rarefactive and compressive solitons. As a matter of fact, when the wave amplitude enlarged, the width and velocity of the wave deviate from the prediction of the KdV equation. It means that we have to extend our analysis to obtain the variable coefficients Kortewege-de Vries (KdV) equation with fifth-order dispersion term. For locally constant parameters, the higher-order solution for the resulting equation has been achieved via what is called perturbation technique. The effects of positive and negative dust charge fluctuations on the higher-order soliton amplitude and width of electrostatic solitary structures are outlined.
