Description

We first outlined the developments of tractable nonlinear wave equation in the form of Burger's equation in plasma contaminated by the heavy dust grain as called dusty plasma. Hence a new approach of travelling wave solution method has been applied to solve the Burger's equation and highlighted nonlinear shock-wave formation causeway from the dust charge fluctuation in plasma. The technique has though its own limitation but analysis predicts successfully the salient features of the weak shock-wave structure in plasma which in turns might be of interest to explore in laboratory and space plasmas.
