hi wang ji,

I try to simulate the wake that yo had posted but it didnīt work. I would appreciate if you could tell me if it worked to you, because iīm trying to simulate a leo environment and i do not know the parameters that i have to set up in the global parameters and also the criterion of the radio of the external boundary that i have to use in LEo. I knew that in GEO is 1/4 of the debye length distance, but in LEO I donīt know. If you have some ideas, please tell me..

Best Regards,

Pablo Promenzio.

Maybe It can be a tutorial, why does the simulation show particles number density is nearly zero?
