A fluid analysis of the excitation of dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves in a collisional dusty plasma is presented. The DIA waves are excited by a relative drift of the electrons and ions produced by a steady-state electric field applied to the plasma. The DIA instability is more easily excited if the relative concentration of negatively charged dust is increased. The current interest in dusty plasmas is due to the realization of their importance in various astrophysical and geophysical environments (e.g., interstellar space, comet tails, planetary ring systems, and the polar mesosphere) as well as in industrial plasma processing devices used in semiconductor manufacturing.
