Propagation of a small-amplitude shock wave associated with the ion acoustic-like mode in a dusty plasma

The reductive perturbation method is used to investigate the existence of a shock wave in the presence of dust charge fluctuation in a dusty plasma. A Burgers-type equation is obtained for the first-order perturbed potential. The potential and velocity of the shock are obtained. The conditions for t...

Description
Summary:The reductive perturbation method is used to investigate the existence of a shock wave in the presence of dust charge fluctuation in a dusty plasma. A Burgers-type equation is obtained for the first-order perturbed potential. The potential and velocity of the shock are obtained. The conditions for the existence of the shock solutions are discussed.
