dc.description.abstractObservations of ion currents obtained by a retarding potential analyzer on board the Explorer 31 Satellite were used to compare the Liu-Jew and Gurevich et al. wake models with experiment. The quantitative degree of agreement is shown and discussed. The Gurevich et al. `neutral approximation' was tested via the observations and was found to be fairly good for regions where the hydrogen ions constitute more than 20 per cent of the plasma and the Mach number is low. For the case of high Mach number, the Liu-Jew computations are in better agreement with the observations over the angle of attack range which could be studied, namely, 100[deg]-130[deg].en_US
