Abstract

A method is outlined for the calculation of the wakes of small cylinders in hypersonic, collision-free, cold-ion plasma flow. No applied magnetic field is considered. Results are presented for a cylinder with a radius of 0.005 Debye lengths in a flow with a Mach number (based on the ion-acoustic speed) of 8, and a comparison is made with available experimental data.
