Dusty plasmas are plasmas containing solid particles in the size range of about 10 nm—10
μm. The particles acquire an electrical charge by collecting electrons and ions from the …

The dust acoustic wave (DAW) was first discussed by PK Shukla in May of 1989 at the First
Capri Workshop on Dusty Plasmas. In the past 25 years, the subsequent publication of the …

Dusty (or complex) plasmas in the Earth's middle and upper atmosphere ultimately result in
exotic phenomena that are currently forefront research issues in the space science …

We report the first experimental observations of a single-mode Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in
a flowing dusty plasma in which the flow is compressible in nature. The experiments are …

A shock that is continuously driven by a moving exciter will propagate at a speed that
depends on the exciter speed. We obtained this dependence experimentally, in a strongly …

The propagation of dust ion acoustic solitary waves and double layers is studied in a dusty
plasma with heavy adiabatic positively charged dust grains and lighter adiabatic positive …

Pinned solitons are a special class of nonlinear solutions created by a supersonically
moving object in a fluid. They move with the same velocity as the moving object and thereby …

The backward periodic dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) in a dusty plasma in which dust
particles move unidirectionally are considered. In the framework of the linear theory, the …

We study the evolution of nonlinear ion acoustic wave excitations due to a moving charged
source in a plasma. Our numerical investigations of the full set of cold fluid equations go …

The experimentally measured waveform of nonlinear dust acoustic waves in a plasma is
shown to be accurately described by a cnoidal function. This function, which is predicted by …
