Abstract
The formation of thermoacoustic shocks is studied in a fluid complex plasma. The thermoacoustic wave mode can be damped (or anti-damped) when the contribution from the thermoacoustic interaction is lower (or higher) than that due to the particle collision and/or the kinematic viscosity. In the nonlinear regime, the thermoacoustic wave, propagating with the acoustic speed, can evolve into small amplitude shocks whose dynamics are governed by the Bateman-Burgers equation with an additional nonlinear term that appears due to the particle collision and nonreciprocal interactions of charged particles providing the thermal feedback. The appearance of such nonlinearity can cause the shock fronts to be stable (or unstable) depending on the collision frequency remains below (or above) a critical value and the thermal feedback is positive. The existence of different kinds of shocks and their characteristics are analyzed analytically and numerically with the system parameters that characterize the thermal feedback, thermal diffusion, heat capacity per fluid particle, the particle collision and the fluid viscosity. A good agreement between analytical and numerical results is also noticed.
期刊介绍:
Wave Motion is devoted to the cross fertilization of ideas, and to stimulating interaction between workers in various research areas in which wave propagation phenomena play a dominant role. The description and analysis of wave propagation phenomena provides a unifying thread connecting diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences such as acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics.
The journal publishes papers on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Papers that address fundamentally new topics in wave phenomena or develop wave propagation methods for solving direct and inverse problems are of interest to the journal.
