Scientific paper

A series of computer simulations is reported on the detailed shape and distribution of the dc electric fields that result when an external potential drop is applied to a plasma with strong low-frequency turbulence. The structures are shown to depend on the size of the potential drop and upon the shape of the ion turbulence. For the type of turbulence expected for current driven electrostatic ion cyclotrron waves the dc fields seen in the simulations are in good agreement with those observed in the aurora.
