Dust particle wakes in flowing plasmas: one-to-one comparison of linear-response theory with particle-in-cell simulations — •Patrick Ludwig1, Michael Bonitz1, and Ian H. Hutchinson2 — 1Inst. für Theo. Phys. und Astrophysik, CAU, Kiel — 2MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Extending the controversial discussion on the existence of subsonic plasma wakes in a stationary flowing plasma [1,2], we present results of a high quality one-to-one comparison of the wake potentials computed by (i) linearized-response kinetic theory, and (ii) first principle particle-in-cell simulations [3]. The comparison comprises a broad range of Mach numbers, different electron-to-ion temperature ratios, and applies to collisionless and collisional plasmas as well.
