Fully self-consistent 3D modeling of spherical Mach-probes in ExB fields
We carry out 3D particle-in-cell simulations accounting for the full ion distribution function, Boltzmann electrons, and the self-consistent potential profiles in the neighborhood of a sphere in a flowing magnetized plasma. This can be considered as the "spherical Mach-probe" problem, esta...
