【 摘 要 】

Using state-of-the-art flow/particle visualization and animation techniques, the time-dependent statistical distributions of charged-particle swarms exposed to external fields (both electrostatic and flow) are analyzed. We found that interparticle interaction and drag forces mainly influenced swarm dispersion in a Lagrangian reference frame, whereas the ''average'' particle trajectory was affected primarily by the external electric field.
