Popis: The distribution functions are investigated of charged particles in the wall region in the vicinity of a cylindrical body placed in a flow of collisionless plasma. For comparison with the studies by other authors, the calculation is first performed for the case of quiescent plasma in the absence of magnetic field. Subsequent calculations consistently include the directional velocity of plasma and external magnetic field. The basic features of obtained distribution functions are revealed and explained.
