Abstract

We have studied the characteristics of the Dust Acoustic Solitary Wave (DASW) in a five component cometary plasma composed of two components of electrons (one hotter and one colder), hydrogen ions and a pair of oppositely charged dust particles (heavier ions). The Korteweg – deVries wave equation has been derived for the system and its solitary wave solution obtained. The dust acoustic solitary wave amplitude is almost a constant with varying temperatures of the hot electron component but decreases with increasing hydrogen ion densities. A comparison with a complementary nonlinear wave, the Dust Ion Acoustic Solitary Wave, has also been made. Keywords: Dust acoustic solitary wave, K dV equation, kappa distributed ions and electrons Cite this Article Neethu Theresa Willington, Sijo Sebastian, Chandu Venugopal.
