Intergrain forces in low-Mach-number plasma wakes

Large-scale particle-in-cell calculations of the plasma wake interactions of two negatively charged grains smaller than the Debye length are carried out using the coptic code over a wide range of subsonic plasma flow velocities. In plasmas with the temperature ratio T[subscript e]/T[subscript i]=100...
