Drift wave turbulence in the presence of a dust density gradient
Abstract
We present turbulent properties of electrostatic drift waves in a nonuniform collisional plasma composed of magnetised electrons and ions in the presence of immobile dust particles. For this purpose, we derive a pair of nonlinear quasi-two-dimensional equations exhibiting the coupling between the generalized ion vorticity and density fluctuations associated with collisional drift waves. The effect of a dust density gradient on the initial drift instability and fully developed turbulence is examined numerically.
