Abstract

We study a complex plasma under microgravity conditions that is auto-oscillating due to a heartbeat instability and contains quasi-solitary wave ridges —oscillons. We demonstrate that this system can serve as a nearly ideal model system to mimic weak Kolmogorov-Zakharov–type wave turbulence. The slopes of the structure functions agree reasonably well with power laws assuming extended self-similarity. The energy spectrum displays multiple cascades, which we attribute to the influence of friction, the heartbeat instability and a modulational instability.
