Abstract

The nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic (DA) waves in a dusty plasma consisting of Boltzmann-distributed ions, vortex-like distributed electrons and mobile charge fluctuating positive dust has been investigated by employing the reductive perturbation method. The effects of dust grain charge fluctuation and the vortex-like electron distribution are found to modify the properties of the DA solitary waves significantly. The implications of these results for some space and astrophysical dusty plasma systems are briefly mentioned.
