Abstract
Shear flows in dusty plasmas medium are strongly affected by the spatial correlation between highly charged grains via Yukawa interaction, which is quantified by coupling strength \((\Gamma )\) and screening length \((\kappa )\) of the system. Strongly coupled dusty plasmas are often considered to behave as a viscoelastic fluid medium and can be modeled by a generalized hydrodynamic model. Using a phenomenological generalized hydrodynamic (GHD) model and classical molecular dynamics simulation, the linear and nonlinear dynamics of hydrodynamic-like shear flows in strongly coupled plasma are addressed. Various characteristics of shear flows including laminar to turbulent flow transition, non-linear vortex merger phenomena, incompressible to compressible flow transition, and inertial wave generation have been studied numerically in strongly coupled dusty plasmas. To study the nonlinear evolution of various shear flows, a massively parallelized Advanced Generalized SPECTral Code (AG-Spect) and Multi-Potential Molecular Dynamics (MPMD) with a new Configurational Thermostat code have been chosen. The class of parallel and rotational shear flows studied are assumed to be weakly and strongly compressible in nature.
