Abstract

The ionospheric flow regime in which the flow velocity is well above the ambient ion thermal velocity, but far below the ambient electron thermal velocity, is considered. The flow is parallel to the axis of a conducting semi-infinite cylinder and is directed toward the end disk. Taylor's heuristic method is employed to obtain the approximate spatial dependence of the electric potential and the ion density and velocity. An expression is obtained from these parameters for the net current to the end disk.
