Kinetic solution to the Mach probe problem in transversely flowing strongly magnetized plasmas
The kinetic equation governing a strongly magnetized transverse plasma flow past a convex ion-collecting object is solved numerically for arbitrary ion to electron temperature ratio τ. The approximation of isothermal ions adopted in a recent fluid treatment of the same plasma model [I. H. Hutchinson...
