Abstract

The dynamics of the weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive low frequency longitudinal dust acoustic waves (LDAWs) in a strongly coupled complex (dusty) plasma are investigated using generalized hydrodynamic (GH) model. In presence of strong correlation, the nonlinear wave is shown to be governed by a Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with a nonlocal nonlinear forcing and a linear damping terms. This novel equation is solved numerically to show the competition between nonlinear forcing and dissipative damping in the formation of the localized structures.
