摘要
SCEPTIC3D now includes charge-exchange collisions, and is used to examine ion collection by a floating conducting sphere (small compared to the electron debye length) in the presence of a background neutral drift. The enhancement of ion collection at moderate collisionalities seen for the stationary case is weakened as the drift speed increases from the ion thermal speed to the ion sound speed, above which no enhancement is seen.
