Abstract:A structure of plasma flowing around a spherical target immersed into the magnetic field was studied. It was found that the plasma structure depends on the plasma jet orientation relatively to the magnetic field. When the magnetic field is oriented coaxially with the plasma source, a single focused plasma stream is attached to the target surface. When the magnetic field is directed orthogonally relative to the plasma source, two intense plasma streams are formed that enclose the target. The target current depe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
