Exact localized nonlinear dust kinetic Alfvén waves are investigated by retaining the complete dust nonlinearity and by invoking small but finite-β effects in a collisionless plasma, whose constituents are electrons, ions and negatively charged dust grains. Sub-Alfvénic, as well as super-Alfvénic, solitary waves consisting of smooth density humps or dips are found to exist. Further, super-Alfvénic kink type solitons are also found to occur. The soliton amplitude depends upon various plasma parameters along with the soliton propagation speed. The results of the present investigation may be useful in the diagnostics of dust in magnetized plasmas and in understanding the formation of coherent soliton structures in space and laboratory plasmas.
This article studies the porous deformation channel flow of a viscous fluid through a porous medium. Both the analytical and numerical solutions are obtained by using homotopy perturbation and shooting methods respectively. A good agreement between analytical and numerical solutions is achieved. Furthermore, the graphical results of velocity, streamlines, normal pressure distribution and shear stress are presented for various values of emerging parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
