Propagation of large amplitude dust-acoustic (DA) solitary waves is investigated in electronpositron-ion plasmas in the presence of dust grains using Sagdeev potential method. It is shown that acceptable values of Mach number for propagation of the large amplitude DA solitary waves depend strongly on plasma parameters. It is also observed that the amplitude of DA solitary waves increases as both the Mach number M and dust charge Z d are increased. Furthermore, it is found that a dusty plasma with inertial dust fluid and Boltzmann distributed electrons, positrons, and ions admits only negative solitary potentials associated with nonlinear dust-acoustic waves. In addition, it is remarked that the formation of double layers is not possible in this plasma system. V C 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.
In the current study, radial electric field with fluid equations has been calculated. The calculation started with kinetic theory, Boltzmann and momentum balance equations were derived, the negligible terms compared with others were eliminated, and the radial electric field expression in steady state was derived. As mentioned in previous researches, this expression includes all types of particles such as electrons, ions, and neutrals. The consequence of this solution reveals that three major driving forces contribute in radial electric field: radial pressure gradient, poloidal rotation, and toroidal rotation; rotational terms mean Lorentz force. Therefore, radial electric field and plasma rotation are connected through the radial momentum balance.
