Abstract
Abstract The propagation of nonlinear electrostatic ion-acoustic (IA) shock waves in presence of external magnetic field having Cairns–Tsallis distributed electrons and ion kinematic viscosity is investigated. In the linear regime, the dispersion relation of the ion acoustic shock wave is found to be modified by the external magnetic field. Adopting reductive perturbation approach, it is shown that the dynamics of shocks is modeled by a hybrid Ostrovsky–Burgers’ equation. The influence of relevant physical parameters such as nonthermality and nonextensivity of electrons, magnetic field strength, and ion kinematic viscosity on the time evolution of the shock structure is numerically examined. It is observed the present plasma system supports both compressive and rarefactive shock waves. Furthermore, the analysis is performed through dynamical system approach to elucidate the various aspects of the phase-space shock dynamics.
