Dust grain charging in the wake of other grains — •Dietmar Block1 and Wojciech Miloch21IEAP der CAU Kiel, Leibnizstr. 19, 24118 Kiel, Germany — 2Dept. of Physics, University Olso, N-0316 Oslo, Norway

Recent experiments have shown that two aligned grains in a plasma flow are charged differently. In this contribution, we address the problem of the charge distribution in two- and multiple grain arrangements in sonic and supersonic collisionless plasma flows by means of self-consistent numerical particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. First, the charging of a system of two gains is studied for a range of flow velocities and intergrain distances. Second, a third aligned grain is added and its charging process is investigated in detail. In a third step, we investigate the charging of a grain below a layer of grains. Finally a cluster of 15 grains is studied. Thus, our simulations systematically investigate the influence of the local neighborhood on the charging processes for situations which differ in complexity.
