Abstract
In this article, a comprehensive investigation of the linear and nonlinear waves’ structure in an unmagnetized plasma consisting of nonextensive electrons, considering collisionality and kinematic viscosity effects, is studied. Using a reductive perturbation technique, we have derived a hybrid Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation for ion-acoustic (IA) waves. Analytical solutions for solitary waves and shock structures are obtained. We have also solved this equation numerically in order to investigate the basic properties of solitary/shock waves in such a plasma system. The presence of nonextensive electrons with $q$ -distribution influences significantly the solitary and shock wave structures. In other words, the compressive and rarefactive-type solitons or shock waves can also be seen in this plasma model depending on the strength of nonextensivity. On the other hand, the effects of ion-neutral collision and ion kinematic viscosity on the characteristics of IA solitary/shock waves are discussed. It is found that these parameters modify the basic features of the solitonic and shock excitations.
