Abstract
A bounded plasma is simulated with a spatially generated source in the presence of an oblique magnetic field. The kinetic particle-in-cell technique has been used to track particles fully kinetically. The plasma facing the surface is considered to be an absorbent for the charged particles. The plasma flow is assumed to be normal with respect to the surface and primarily controlled by the self-consistent internal electric field. The ions are observed to follow interesting dynamical behavior near the collector sheath. The low energetic ions reflect back to the ion source region at certain angles of inclination. The reflection seems to be prominent at a low angle of inclination. The interaction of the magnetic field with the surface in a divertor like scenario of a tokamak is typically at a low angle (∼5°). Even the surface of a space station may be tilted with respect to the earth's magnetic field. The observations made in this paper will find a significant impact in these configurations.
