Abstract

AbstractFilamentation phenomenon is one of the most important outcomes of applying a strong magnetic field to low‐pressure plasmas and dusty plasmas. In this article, the variation of filamentation phenomenon with neutral gas pressure and plasma density will be investigated using numerical simulations. It will be shown through these simulations how the formation of the filamentary patterns in the magnetized plasma results in a localized electric field structure that strongly contributes to the properties of the filamentary patterns. Based on the results of the simulations, a theoretical model is derived that relates the width of the filamentary patterns to the plasma density. The model has been successfully employed to predict the width of the patterns emerging in various simulations of the magnetized plasma.
