Abstract

The nonlinear dust-ion acoustic shock waves in dusty plasmas with the combined effects of bounded cylindrical/spherical geometry, the transverse perturbation, the dust charge fluctuation, and the nonthermal electrons are studied. Using the perturbation method, a cylindrical/spherical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Burgers equation that describes the dust-ion acoustic shock waves is deduced. A particular solution of the cylindrical/spherical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Burgers equation is also obtained. It is shown that the dust-ion acoustic shock wave propagating in cylindrical/spherical geometry with transverse perturbation will be slightly deformed as time goes on.
