Abstract
Stangeby and Allen (1970) have demonstrated that the plasma-sheath boundary is a Mach surface in a collisionless plasma containing an anisotropic cold ion velocity distribution and no ionization. It is shown that the plasma-sheath boundary is still a Mach surface even when the effects of ionization, momentum-transferring collisions and a finite ion temperature are considered.
