We have studied the evolution of ion-acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in pulsar wind. The pulsar wind is modeled by considering a weakly relativistic unmagnetized collisionless plasma comprised of relativistic ions and superthermal electrons and positrons. Through fluid simulations, we have demonstrated that the localized ion density perturbations generated in the polar wind plasma can evolve the relativistic IASW pulses. It is found that the concentration of positrons, relativistic factor, superthermality of electrons, and positrons have a significant influence on the dynamical evolution of IASW pulses. Our results may provide insight to understand the evolution of IASW pulses and their role in astrophysical plasmas, especially in the relativistic pulsar winds with supernova outflow which is responsible for the production of superthermal particles and relativistic ions.
The small amplitude ion-acoustic solitary waves in the magneto-rotating plasma consisting of cold fluid ions, hot positrons, and the two-temperature electrons (cold and hot electrons) are investigated when the electrons obey a modified Cairns-Tsallis distribution.

The passage of an ion-acoustic solitary wave through the boundary between an electron-ion plasma and a negative ion plasma is considered. After the ion-acoustic solitary wave enters the region of another plasma, a disturbance arises, from which an ion-acoustic solitary wave and a chain of oscillations form over time. The amplitude of the ion-acoustic solitary wave after passage through the boundary changes in such a way that its value in the electron-ion plasma is greater than its value in the negative ion plasmas. An exception is the case of a compressive ion-acoustic solitary wave propagatin…

The range of initial amplitudes, at which a solitary wave preserves its identity after collisions, is established. The use of a diagram of initial amplitudes of colliding solitary waves to consider possible col…
The head-on collision of ion-acoustic solitary waves in a collisionless plasma with cold ions and Boltzmann electrons is studied. It is shown that solitary waves of sufficiently large amplitudes do not retain their identity after a collision. Their amplitudes decrease and their forms change.

A compositional parameter space has been drawn which shows the nature of existence…
The excitation and propagation of finite amplitude low frequency solitary waves are investigated in an Argon plasma impregnated with kaolin dust particles. A nonlinear longitudinal dust acoustic solitary wave is excited by pulse modulating the discharge voltage with a negative potential. It is found that the velocity of the solitary wave increases and the width decreases with the increase of the modulating voltage, but the product of the solitary wave amplitude and the square of the width remains nearly constant. The experimental findings are compared with analytic soliton solutions of a model…

We investigate the propagation characteristics of two counter propagating dust acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) undergoing a head-on collision, in the presence of strong coupling between micron sized charged dust particles in a complex plasma. A coupled set of nonlinear dynamical equations describing the evolution of the two DASWs using the extended Poincaré-Lighthill-Kuo perturbation technique is derived. The nature and extent of post collision phase-shifts of these solitary waves are studied over a wide range of dusty plasma parameters in a strongly and a weakly coupled medium. We find a sign…
We report the first experimental observations of the reflection of a dust acoustic solitary wave from a potential barrier in a dusty plasma medium. The experiments have been carried out in an inverted $Π$-shaped Dusty Plasma Experimental (DPEx) device in a DC glow discharge plasma environment. The dust acoustic solitary wave is excited by modulating the plasma with a short negative Gaussian pulse that is superimposed over the discharge voltage. The solitary wave structure is seen to move towards a potential barrier, created by the sheath around a biased wire, and turn back after reflecting off…

The propagation of fully nonlinear ion acoustic solitary waves (IASW) in a magneto-plasma with degenerate electrons was investigated by Abdelsalam et al. [[1] Physics Letters A 372 (2008) 4923]. Based on their work in the present work, a rigorous and general analytical study is presented. This confirms their implied assumption that (i) only hump and no cavity is possible and (ii) for humps, the algebraic equation for the maximum density N obtained by them determines it uniquely (naturally assumes N > 1). Here we confirm analytically their assertion that N decreases with lx (the direction cosin…

Dust ion acoustic solitary structures have been investigated in an unmagnetized nonthermal plasma consisting of negatively charged dust grains, adiabatic positive ions and nonthermal electrons. For isothermal electrons, the present plasma system does not support any double layer solution, whereas for nonthermal electrons, negative potential double layer starts to occur whenever the nonthermal parameter exceeds a critical value. However this double layer solution is unable to restrict the occurrence of all negative potential solitary waves of the present system. As a result, two different types…
The nonlinear dynamics of electron-acoustic localized structures in a collisionless and unmagnetized plasma consisting of "cool" inertial electrons, "hot" electrons having a kappa distribution, and stationary ions is studied. The inertialess hot electron distribution thus has a long-tailed suprathermal (non-Maxwellian) form. A dispersion relation is derived for linear electron-acoustic waves. They show a strong dependence of the charge screening mechanism on excess suprathermality (through κ). A nonlinear pseudopotential technique is employed to investigate the occurrence of stationary-profile…

However, there exists a critical velocity of the beam beyond which the amplitude of the fast solitary wave starts diminishing and rarefacti…
The propagation of arbitrary amplitude ion-acoustic (IA) solitary waves (SWs) is studied in unmagnetized, collisionless, homogeneous electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasmas with finite temperature degeneracy of both electrons and positrons. Starting from a set of fluid equations for classical ions and Fermi-Dirac distribution for degenerate electrons and positrons, a linear dispersion relation for IA waves is derived. It is seen that the wave dispersion is significantly modified due to the presence of positron species and the effects of finite temperature degeneracy of electrons and positrons. I…
