We study the effect of charge fluctuations on the propagation of adiabatic linear and nonlinear dust-acoustic waves by considering the electrons and ions to be in Boltzmann equilibria, and the dust grains to satisfy the fluid equations with full adiabatic equation of state. Linear dust-acoustic waves are damped owing to the dust-charge fluctuations, and the damping rate decreases with increasing adiabatic dust pressure. Nonlinear dust-acoustic waves are governed by the set of coupled Boussinesq-like and dust-charge perturbation equations. It is shown that for unidirectional propagation, the Boussinesq-like equation reduces to usual Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. At early times, the localized solutions of the KdV equation are damped owing to the dust-charge perturbations. The soliton amplitude decreases with increasing adiabatic dust plasma pressure and increases with Mach number. Soliton solutions are found only in the supersonic regime.

Wave mixing resulting from the resonance of electromagnetic waves with ion acoustic waves modified by dust charge fluctuations is investigated. The corresponding nonlinear susceptibilities are derived and applied to the study of phase conjugation by four-wave mixing. It is shown that dust charge fluctuations can lead to a filling-up of the resonance-induced splitting of the phase-conjugate reflectivity, making the latter a useful tool for the diagnostics of dusty plasmas.
