Abstract

The propagation of solitary waves in an unmagnetized collisional dusty plasma consisting of a negatively charged dust fluid, positively charged ions, isothermal electrons, and background neutral particles is studied. The ionization, ion loss, ion–neutral, ion–dust, and dust–neutral collisions are considered. Applying a reductive perturbation theory, a damped Korteweg–de Vries (DKdV) equation is derived. On the other hand, at a critical phase velocity, the dynamics of solitary waves is governed by a damped modified Korteweg–de Vries (DMKdV) equation. The nonlinear properties of solitary waves in the two cases are discussed.
