Scientific paper

We will look at the effects caused by particle size distributions on the behavior of the wakes formed at the Encke Gap. The results of simulations using power-law size distributions and bi-modal distributions will be compared to simulations using a single particle size and, where possible, observations. The simulations are performed with a code that uses guiding center coordinates to evolve up to 1,000,000 smooth, inelastic particles and ignores the self gravity of the particles. Included in the results will be damping rates for the wakes as well as pressure tensor analysis. We will also test the idea put forward by Shu and Stewart (1985) that the dynamics of a power-law distribution with slope of -3 can be modeled accurately by a single particle size. Funding provided by the Cassini Project, contract 961196 and by NASA grant NAG5-4163.
