AbstractProperties of the coupled dust ion-acoustic drift wave instability in a radially bounded dusty magnetoplasma with an equilibrium sheared parallel ion (SPI) flow are investigated. By using the two-fluid model for the electrons and ions, a wave equation for the low-frequency coupled dust ion-acoustic drift waves in a bounded plasma with stationary charged dust grains is derived. The wave equation admits a linear dispersion relation, which exhibits that the radial boundary affects the growth rate of the coupled ion-acoustic drift wave instability which is excited by the SPI flow. The results should be relevant to dusty magnetoplasma experiments with an SPI flow.

The nonlinear wave structures of large amplitude ion-acoustic waves are studied in a plasma with positrons. We have presented the region of existence of the ion-acoustic waves by analysing the structure of the pseudopotential. The region of existence sensitively depends on the positron to electron density ratio, the ion to electron mass ratio and the positron to electron temperature ratio. It is shown that the maximum Mach number increases as the positron temperature increases and the region of existence of the ion-acoustic waves spreads as the positron temperature increases. The present theory is applicable to analyse large amplitude ion-acoustic waves associated with positrons which may occur in space plasmas.
