description

In the class of the submodels SCLF (space-charge limited flow) of the family of "gap-plus-PPF" models, let us exposes some qualitative remarks on the possible turbulent dynamics showed by the zone (II) (see Fig. 1 of the text) of the acceleration zone of the "direct inner gap". Furthermore, we will discuss some consequent physical implications (as, for instance, self-focussing phenomena, Petviashvili's diamagnetism, and so on) concerning structure and physical phenomenology of the remaining subzones (above the subzone (II)) of the given acceleration zone, in connection with possible models for the external solid crust of the radio-pulsar.
