Abstract

The dynamics and collisions of dust acoustic (DA) shock excitations traveling in opposite directions are theoretically investigated in a three-dimensional self-gravitating magnetized electron-depleted dusty plasma whose ingredients are extremely warm positively and negatively charged massive dust grains as well as ions that follow the q-nonextensive distribution. A linear analysis and the extended Poincare-Lighthill-Kuo method are used to derive the dispersion relation, the two-sided Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equations, and the phase shift that occurs due to the wave interaction. It is found that gravitation introduces Jeans-like instability, reduces the wave damping rate, decays the aperiodic oscillatory structure of DA excitations, and strongly affects the amplitude, steepness, and occurrence of monotonic compressive and rarefactive shocks. Numerical simulations also highlighted the stabilizing role of the magnetic field and the singularities of the collision process of monotonic shock fronts as well as the undeniable influence of viscosity, ion nonextensivity, and obliqueness between counter-traveling waves on the phase shift and collision profiles. The present results may be useful to better understand interactions of dust acoustic shock waves in the laboratory and astrophysical scenarios, such as dust clouds in the galactic disk, photo-association regions separating H II regions from dense molecular clouds, Saturn's planetary ring, and Halley Comet.
