The interest in complex plasmas is increasing due to the multiple applications they target (astrophysics, plasma fusion, industry, etc.). A crystal with two vortexes made of spherical microparticles that levitates an rf interacts a gas jet. displaced jet propagation direction neutral pushing force, maintaining its vortex structure. shift also involves change shape, especially at level vortexes. One stretched, and other one compressed. During three phases modification shape crystal, length approximately constant, about 12.5 mm, this being consequence fact electric forces ion drag are preserved. orderly structure lasts until particles begin fall on bottom electrode. changing vorticity regions can be attributed push force.
