The electron forewake: Shadowing and drift-energization as flowing magnetized plasma encounters an obstacle
Flow of magnetized plasma past an obstacle creates a traditional wake, but also a forewake region arising from shadowing of electrons. The electron forewakes resulting from supersonic flows past insulating and floating-potential obstacles are explored with 2D electrostatic particle-in-cell simulatio...
