Collisionless Adiabatic Afterglow

Plasma Physics 2021-02-03 v1

Abstract

We study, by numerical and analytical means, the evolution of a uniform one-dimensional collisionless plasma initiated between plane absorbing walls. The ensuing flow is described by rarefaction waves that propagate symmetrically inward from the boundaries, interact, and eventually vanish after crossing through, leading up to the asymptotic phase.
