Abstract

The linear properties and head-on collision of dust ion-acoustic shock waves (DIASWs) are investigated in un-magnetized electronegative collisional plasmas comprising non-inertial thermal electron and light negative ion, inertial positive ion, and stationary dust grain with negative charges. In this regard, the dispersion relation is derived using the standard normal mode analysis and the two-sided damped Korteweg–deVries (dKdV) equations are derived employing the extended Poincaré Lighthill Kuo (ePLK) method. The effects of physical parameters on linear dispersion relation, formation of shocks, phase shift due to head-on collision, and collision process are studied. It is found that the effect of is more dominant to the wave frequency than that of and in a certain range of the group velocity of the DIASWs is increasing and then decreasing for the effect of the ratio of negative ion to electron density. The amplitude and width of the DIASWs increase with the enhancement of electron temperature and the ion-neutral collision plays a significant role in the formation of shock. The consequence of () the phase shift is increasing (decreasing). The results of this study may be useful to the investigation of space and astrophysical environment where the electronegative collisional plasma exists.
