Shock wave bending around a dusty plasma void
Sachin Sharma, Rauoof Wani, Prabhakar Srivastav +4
We report on experimental observations of the bending of a dust acoustic shock wave around a dust void region. This phenomenon occurs as a planar shock wavefront encounters a compr…
Observation of Kolmogorov turbulence due to multiscale vortices in dusty plasma experiments
Sachin Sharma, Rauoof Wani, Prabhakar Srivastav +4
We report the experimental observation of fully developed Kolmogorov turbulence originating from self-excited vortex flows in a three-dimensional (3D) dust cloud. The characteristi…
On the excitation of Ion Acoustic Soliton in quiescent plasma confined by multi-pole line cusp magnetic field
Zubin Shaikh, A. D. Patel, Meenakshee Sharma +2
This paper presents the detailed study of the controlled experimental observation and characterization of Ion Acoustic soliton in the quiescent argon plasma produced by filamentary…
Characteristics of a Plasma Source with adjustable multi-pole line cusp geometry
Meenakshee Sharma, A. D. Patel, N. Ramasubramanian +3
Two magnetic configurations of Multi-cusp Plasma Device (MPD) have been explored to obtain high quiescence level, large uniform plasma region with nearly flat mean density and temp…
Observation of neutrals carrying ion-acoustic wave momentum in partially ionized plasma
Meenakshee Sharma, A. D. Patel, Zubin Shaikh +4
An experimental study of Ion Acoustic (IA) wave propagation is performed to investigate the effect of neutral density for argon plasma in an unmagnetized linear plasma device. The…
Characterization of Argon Plasma in a variable Multi-pole line Cusp Magnetic Field Configuration
A. D. Patel, M. Sharma, N. Ramasubramanian
This paper demonstrates a detailed characterization of argon plasma in a variable multi-pole line cusp magnetic field (VMMF). The VMMF has been produced by placing six electromagne…
