Abstract
Numerical study of the effect of dust particle concentration on the thermophoretic force acting on a dust particle inside a dust structure in plasma has been carried out. The experimental data on the formation of voids in dust structures formed by 2.55 μm dust particles in a glow dc discharge in neon have been used. The simulation has been performed using the diffusion-drift model with taking into account joule heating of discharge. The dependence of the thermophoretic force acting on a dust particle in a dust structure on the ratio of atom mean free path to the distance between the adjacent particles in the dust structure has been obtained.
