Shear-wave Mach cones in a strongly coupled dusty plasma
- Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, 1/AF Bidhannagar, Kolkata 700 064 (India)
Shear-wave Mach cones excited in a strongly coupled dusty plasma in the fluid regime are studied using the generalized hydrodynamic model. The Mach cones are excited by a laser beam that is modeled to sweep the three-dimensional dusty plasma with a velocity that is supersonic with respect to the phase velocity of the transverse shear waves. The formation of single Mach cone structures in vorticity maps reveals that they are formed due to shear motion. It is found that an asymmetry in the wake excitation technique gives rise to certain asymmetries in the Mach cone patterns.
