Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we discuss recent results concerning the electrical potential distribution around a small test charged particle in weakly ionized collisional plasmas in the presence of an ion flow. The effect of plasma absorption on the particle surface is taken into account and the results are compared with those from earlier models neglecting absorption. In the considered regime, the effect of plasma absorption is quite important and completely determines the long-range asymptote of the electrical potential.
