Abstract

Nonlinear ion acoustic shocks in homogenous multicomponent electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) dissipative magneto rotating plasmas are studied. Dissipation in the plasma system is included via kinematic viscosity of ions. The electrons and positrons are Lorentzian and following kappa distribution function. Reductive perturbation technique is applied to derive Korteweg de Vries Burgers (KdVB) equation. The effects of variation of positron density, positron spectral index, temperature ratio of kappa distributed electrons to kappa distributed positrons, ion kinematic viscosity and rotational frequency effects are discussed in the context of pulsar magnetosphere.
