[53.12] Kinetic simulation of stratifications and flute structures of charged particle jets and wakes in the ambient magnetic field

M.G. Ponomarjov (State Academy of Aviation Technology)

General methods are proposed for simulations of time-dependent stratifications and flute structures of charged particle jets and wakes in the ambient magnetic field based on the kinetic approach. The Boltzmann equation solved taking into account the ambient electric and magnetic fields. Using this solution the analytical results are obtained, which describe developing magnetic field aligned stratifications of charged particle jets in the ionosphere. For magnetic field aligned drifting velocity of jets, formation of flute structures along the edges of the jets is obtained analytically. Using the image method (see [1], [2]) the wakes of different objects in the ionosphere are simulated. Different kinds of interactions of the ambient particles with object surfaces are considered as absorption, direct and diffuse reflection. The analytical results describe the flute structure of wakes of objects in motion along the magnetic field and stratifications of wakes in different cases.
