Abstract

The collisional hydrodynamic equations for electrons, ions, and dust particles in dusty plasmas are derived from the kinetic equations [V. N. Tsytovich and U. de Angelis, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1093 (1999)] which consistently take into account the elastic and inelastic (charging) collisions of plasma particles with dust and the effects of dust charge fluctuations. These equations are valid in the parameter regime where the collisions of plasma particles with dust dominate with respect to the binary plasma collisions. New expressions for the fluid collision frequencies, transport coefficients, viscosity, and ion drag are found and compared with previous results.
