Abstract

A rigorous investigation is presented on the propagation characteristics of non-linear dust acoustic (DA) waves in an unmagnetized dusty plasma system containing non-thermal and vortex-like ions and Maxwellian electrons under the effect of a fluctuating charged dust fluid. The three-dimensional (3D) Burgers' equation and a new form of a lower degree modified 3D Burgers' equation with their analytical solutions are derived to study the features of shock waves in such plasmas. The effect of the population of non-thermal ions, the vortex-like ion parameter as well as the temperature ratios of ions and electrons on the evolution of shock waves in the presence of dust charge fluctuation is presented. This theoretical investigation might be effectively utilized to unveil the nature of many astrophysical plasma environments (Saturn's spokes etc.) where such plasmas are reported to have existed.
