STRUKTUR DER GRENZSCHICHT ZWISCHEN EINEM FELDFREIEN PLASMA UND EINEM MAGNETFELD IM VAKUUM

摘要

Self consistent solution of Valdo’s equations describing a plane boundary layer without shear is given. The currents within the layer are due to free and trapped electrons. The ion current is neglected since m << m. The free electrons and the ions are assumed Maxwell 1 lain at infinity. For the trapped electrons a one parameter family of distribution functions is assumed. Field and density profiles are computed for E(x), B(x), n (x), n.(x) and j(x) for different numbers e1 of trapped electrons. Numerical solutions are obtained by applying the finite difference method to a variational formulation of the problem.
