On the disturbance caused by a stationary dust grain in a flowing plasma

A study has been made of the distributions of electric and velocity potentials around a dust particle immersed in a flowing, collisionless plasma. The dust particle acts as a sink for both ions and electrons, since it can draw no net current in the steady state. The dust particle is also assumed to...
