Blob Plasma Transporting Impurity Ions

Caption

Time is passing from right to left. The tube in green is the surface of the plasma blob. Areas where impurities are great are in blue and areas where impurities are few are in purple, and both colors appear. When a plasma blob invades an area where impurities are many, the impurities are carried in the right-hand side direction.
