Abstract

The nonlinear propagation of dust acoustic (DA) waves in an unmagnetized dusty plasma system consisting of negatively charged mobile dust fluid, Boltzmann distributed electrons, and two-temperature nonthermally distributed ions, is rigorously investigated. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to derive the Burgers equation. The hydrodynamic equation for inertial dust grains has been used to derive the Burgers equation. The effects of two temperature nonthermally distributed ions and dust kinematic viscosity, which are found to significantly modify the basic features of DA shock waves, are briefly discussed. Our present investigation can be effectively utilized in many astrophysical situations (e.g. satellite or spacecraft observations, Saturn’s E ring, etc.), which are discussed briefly in this analysis.
