Abstract

The nonlinear expansion of a dusty plasma into a vacuum region investigated without imposing a quasi-neutrality assumption. The nonlinear expansion is obtained using numerical methods. Electrons and positive ions are found to initially escape into the vacuum region creating an electric field that accelerates a small group of massive dust particles into the vacuum ahead of the dust expansion.
