Using a two and a half dimensional electrostatic particle simulation code, the plasma structure in a plasma flow along a magnetic mirror field was investigated. A high speed plasma flow is injected along converging magnetic field lines. The plasma potential and density increase in the region of the converging magnetic field lines. The potential difference is greater than the ratio between the injected electron temperature and the electronic charge. The potential difference increases as the mirror ratio or the plasma flow speed increases and is accompanied by a gradual saturation. Twin potential peaks are generated at the edges of plasma flow in the region of the converging magnetic field lines. The peak potentials also increase as the mirror ratio or the plasma flow speed increases. Their positions move to the strong magnetic field region with an increase in the plasma flow speed.
