Transient bow shock around a cylinder in a supersonic dusty plasma
- Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 (United States)
Visual observations of the formation of a bow shock in the transient supersonic flow of a dusty plasma incident on a biased cylinder are presented. The bow shock formed when the advancing front of a streaming dust cloud was reflected by the obstacle. After its formation, the density jump of the bow shock increased as it moved upstream of the obstacle. A physical picture for the formation of the electrohydrodynamic bow shock is discussed.
