AbstractTime-dependent cylindrical and spherical dust-acoustic (DA) solitary and shock waves propagating in a strongly coupled dusty plasmas (containing strongly correlated negatively charged dust grains and weakly correlated adiabatic electrons and ions) are investigated. It is shown that cylindrical and spherical DA solitary and shock waves exist with negative potential, and that the strong correlation between the charged dust grains is a source of dissipation, and is responsible for the formation of cylindrical or spherical DA shock structures. It is also shown that the effects of a non-planar geometry (cylindrical and spherical) significantly modify the basic features (e.g. amplitude, width, speed, etc.) of DA solitary and shock waves. The implications of our results in laboratory experiments are briefly discussed.

The nonlinear features of dust-acoustic waves in a strongly coupled unmagnetized dusty plasma containing electrons and ions following q-nonextensive distribution, and negatively charged mobile dust are investigated by using the reductive perturbation method. The effects of important parameters, such as the q-parameter, temperature, density, and velocity on the properties of solitary and shock waves are discussed. The conditions for the formation of solitary structures and monotonic and oscillatory shock structures are also found. The implications of our result in space and laboratory dusty plasmas are discussed.
