Figure 9 Fig 9. v_f vs Gamma_{sheath} + Gamma_parallel for a delta_perp = 100 filament Dependence of a ?? = 100 filament’s characteristic radial velocity, v_f , on Gamma_{sheath} + Gamma_parallel. With the exception of the highest Gamma_{sheath} + Gamma_parallel point for each data series, in which polarisation currents were not negligible, a linear dependence of v_f on Gamma_{sheath} + Gamma_parallel is displayed. Gamma_parallel was scaled by a factor of 0.75 when plotting the uniform nu_parallel data series, to account for the fact that the effective resistance to parallel currents travelling to the sheath from the midplane at z = 0 is approximately double that from the front of the filament at z ?
