A rotating dusty plasma apparatus was constructed to provide the possibility of experimental emulation of extremely high magnetic fields by means of the Coriolis force, observable in a corotating measurement frame. We present collective excitation spectra for different rotation rates with a magnetic induction equivalent of up to 3200 T. We identify the onset of magnetoplasmon-equivalent mode di...

The characteristics of arbitrary amplitude dust ion acoustic solitary waves (DIASWs) are studied in unmagnetized dusty plasmas whose constituents are cold uid ions, nonextensive electrons and stationary negative/positive dust particles. The pseudopotential approach has been used to investigate the structure of localized waves. It is found that, solitary waves exist in a definite interval for th...

This expectation is supported by the results of many observational studies with ISO, SCUBA, and now Spitzer, which provide evidence of strong evolution in number density and luminosity of dusty starbursts at z>1 (Elbaz et al. 2002; Chapman et al. 2003; Marleau et al. 2004; Yan et al. 2004; Le Floch et al. 2004). Therefore, high-z, dusty infrared luminous sources are believed to play a critical ...

In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as...

Free convection effects and heat transfer due to a pulsating point heat source embedded in an infinite, fluid saturated, porous dusty medium are studied analytically. Both velocity and temperature fields are discussed in the form of series expansions in the Rayleigh number, for both the fluid and particle phases based on the mean heat generation rate from source and on the permeability of the p...

[1] Saturn’s rings, terrestrial polar mesospheric clouds, and astrophysical molecular clouds are all dusty plasma environments where tiny grains of water ice are an important constituent. Existing models typically assume that the ice grains are spherical and then invoke various arguments about the normal distribution or the power law dependence of grain number density on grain radius. Using a l...

Dust aerosols persistently affect nearly all landscapes worldwide, and the saltation activity caused by dusty weather (e.g., dust days) releases considerable amounts of aerosol into atmosphere. Nevertheless, dust-induced may also occur on non-dust days. To date, few studies have investigated characteristics Moreover, contribution days to total remains ambiguous. This study comprehensively inves...

The dispersion properties and excitation mechanisms of ‘dipole oscillons’ in a dusty plasma containing charged elongated rod-like dust grains are investigated in the presence of streaming plasma particles for cases without and with an external static magnetic field. In a magnetized dusty plasma, a new ‘oscillon-ion lower-hybrid’ mode is found, which can be excited by the equilibrium energy of c...

Background & Aims of the Study: Recent studies indicated that particulate matter can have the lung irritation, chronic lung diseases, lung tissue, etc. The aim objective of this study was to assess the mortality associated with exposure to PM10 concentrations in Ilam, Iran, during 2013. Materials & Methods: PM10 data were taken from Ilam's ...

The evolutions of the material interpenetration boundary induced by Rayleigh-Taylor instability were calculated under various acceleration histories using a buoyancy-drag model. It reveals that the development of mixing under constant acceleration is very different from that under variable acceleration. The calculation results were compared with detailed experimental data to prove the validatio...
