Theory of dust self-organized convection in cylindrical discharges. II. Dust convective structures

The convection of dust particles in a plasma is related to the spatial gradients of dust charge distributions existing due to different plasma conditions in different parts of dusty structures. Here, the set of nonlinear equations is derived to describe the dust convective structures appearing as pe...

Description
Summary:The convection of dust particles in a plasma is related to the spatial gradients of dust charge distributions existing due to different plasma conditions in different parts of dusty structures. Here, the set of nonlinear equations is derived to describe the dust convective structures appearing as perturbations of the basic nonlinear structures obtained in Part I. On its basis, various cases of the dust convection in cylindrical dusty structures in a plasma are obtained. It is demonstrated that there is the broad range of plasma and dust parameters where the self-organized dust convection exist.
