2 Introduction Charged dust is widely observed in space plasmas In this talk we show how charged dust disturbs the surrounding plasma flow We start with the basic physics of plasma charged dust interaction in a spherical dust cloud and then apply it to the Enceladus environment The dust is treated as a fluid while the charging process is neglected 2
3 The importance of mass ratios The behavior of an electron-positron plasma is much different than the behavior of an electron-proton plasma Two key processes in heliospheric plasmas where the size of the mass ratio matters are collisionless shocks and collisionless magnetic reconnection Heating of electrons and ions is quite different in shocks Magnetic field line breaking requires electron scale anisotropies Not much work has been done on situations in which there is a third very different mass ratio but this situation occurs frequently in the heliospheric plasma Cometary and atmospheric ion pickup such as SO 2 + at Io AMPTE Barium release Cometary dust, interplanetary dust and Enceladus plume interactions This pickup is now generally handled with hybrid simulations. Can we adapt MHD codes to handle charged fluids with quite different mass ratios? 3
4 Charged dust in the solar wind: Coordinate system B z y Dust We illustrate this problem with a simple magnetized solar wind (electron-proton) flow interaction with charged dust Dust particles are loaded as a spherically symmetric cloud at the origin The red arrows mark the directions of Lorentz forces q(e+v B) of the positively charged dust case. The simulation uses the multi-fluid MHD code, BATSRUS E x F i + F D + 4
5 The multi-fluid MHD equations The conservation equations of the ion and dust fluids, as represented by s : Mass Momentum Faraday s Law Energy 5
6 Flow Separation Along the Connection Electric Field The convection of magnetic field follows the charge-averaged velocity From this definition we can deduce the Lorentz forces on the ion and dust fluids: Positively charged dust: Negatively charged dust: Instead of E B drifting, the dust is massive enough to ignore the magnetic field and thus both fluids move along the Lorentz forces above. Such flow separation has been understood for decades, but the field perturbation was missed Along the convection electric field, the ions and dust move oppositely to maintain the original zero momentum. However, the electrons follow the combined motion of these heavy charges, which is different from the motion of the momentum center. This difference, causes the pileup of field in the perpendicular direction. 6

9 The 3-D structure of the plasma tail: Positively charged dust case A standard plasma tail of an active comet lies along the x-axis with currents flowing along z (left sketch). Not only the ion tail caused by dust pickup is shifted towards +z, but also its current is rotated towards x (right figure).

12 Magnetic field Current system in 3-D Both the field contour and the Alfven wing current system are rotated counterclockwise. Both northern and southern wings are also pushed anti-saturnward. The rotation is consistent with the Cassini By observation that was not explained with single fluid models. Positively charged dust rotates the system clockwise and pushes both Alfven wings Saturnward.

13 Summary The model reproduces the expected plasma deceleration with both positively charged and negatively charged dust, but a new effect arises. Negatively charged dust causes the magnetic field to bend in the direction of the convection electric field, while positively charged dust causes the opposite magnetic field bending. Consequently, the interaction does not only result in a perpendicular shift in the disturbed region, but also a rotation of disturbed field towards or against the convection electric field. We find that the same perpendicular bending exists for all counterstreaming interaction problems, independent of the shape of the dust cloud. The anti-hall effect that was introduced in a previous study ignores the resulting anti-saturnward flow, can not predict the shift in the Alfven wings, and limits its application. Our model can be applied to plasma interaction studies including, but not limited to, charged dust particles in the solar wind, cometary plasma, the Enceladus plume, and active plasma releases, such as the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Experiment (AMPTE) mission. The predicted behavior is consistent with observations at Enceladus. 13

15 Difference from the Anti-Hall effect Simon et al. [2011] introduced the Anti-Hall effect to explain the dust-plasma interaction at Enceladus. In their treatment, the electron bulk velocity is assumed to be the upstream bulk plasma velocity: In a multi-fluid description, the electrons have their own velocity, and they are decelerated because of the draping field. Thus Simon et al. [2011] requires a critical charge density of the dust particles for the Anti-Hall effect to apply: The fundamental multi-fluid MHD theory does not restrict such perpendicular field bending to any relative density conditions. Instead, such bending exists in any heavy ionplasma interaction. 15
