The effect of dust streaming on arbitrary amplitude solitary waves in superthermal polarized space dusty plasma

Abstract

Abstract The impact of dust streaming and polarization force on dust acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) is examined in a non-magnetized dusty plasma made up of negatively charged dust, superthermal ions, and Maxwellian electrons. In the linear limit, the dispersion relation is derived and numerically analyzed. In order to explore the characteristics of arbitrary amplitude DASWs, a Sagdeev potential technique is used. It is explored how the existence domain and characteristics of the DASWs are affected by the polarization force connected to the superthermality index of ions and dust streaming. The relevance of the present study to space dusty plasma, in particular to Saturn’s F-ring, is highlighted.
