Wakes in a Dust Plasma. Comparison of Numerical Methods.

A self-consistent model for plasma polarization around an isolated dust particle with a size of 10−6 m under the action of an external electric field is presented. It is shown that there are self-consistent potential oscillations for various intensities of the external electric fields behind the dust particle. The calculation results are compared with data obtained by using the known numerical approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
