Abstract
Large amplitude adiabatic double layers are investigated in the case of positively charged dusty plasma. The dust grains provide the inertia and the background plasma is formed of two electron populations, hot and cold, in thermal equilibrium. Using fluid equations and the pressure balance equation, the Sagdeev pseudo-potential is driven in the stationary frame. The dependence of the double layers amplitude and Mach number on various parameters such as the hot to cold electron densities, the temperature ratio and the dust drift velocity have been numerically examined. The critical parameters, for which a nature change occurs, are found.
