Spherical probes at ion saturation in E ∧ B fields
The ion saturation current to a spherical probe in the entire range of ion magnetization is computed with SCEPTIC3D, a newthree-dimensional version of the kinetic code SCEPTIC designed to study transverse plasma flows. Results are compared with prior two-dimensional calculations valid in the magn...
