This paper presents a simulation study of the wake formation behind a Langmuir probe thinner than the Debye Length in the space
environments such as the ionosphere’s F region. We find that the wakes formed in plasma density and electric potential behind the positively biased probe can extend up to 15 Debye lengths in the subsonic plasma flow. Higher electric bias and flow velocity can further
enhance ...
