摘要

A self-consistent nonlinear model for dust void is employed to study the void evolution in cylindrical complex plasmas with two various sizes of dust grains. It is shown that the system reaches a steady state approximately with the smaller dust grains form the void structure, and the bigger dust grains keep moving outwards. The time evolution of the velocity and density of both sizes of the dust grains is plotted and the corresponding physical mechanism is discussed.
