Abstract

Korteweg-de-Vries-Burger (K-dVB) equation is derived for ion acoustic shock waves in electron-positron-ion plasmas. Electrons and positrons are considered superthermal and are effectively modeled by a kappa distribution in which ions are as cold fluid. The analytical traveling wave solutions of the K-dVB equation investigated, through the (G′/G)-expansion method. These traveling wave solutions are expressed by hyperbolic function, trigonometric functions are rational functions. When the parameters are taken special values, the shock waves are derived from the traveling waves. It is observed that the amplitude ion acoustic shock waves increase as spectral index κ and kinematic viscosity ηi,0 increases in which with increasing positron density β and electron temperature σ the shock amplitude decreases. Also, numerically the effect different parameters on the nonlinearity A and dispersive B terms and wave velocity V investigated.
