Comparison of the turbulent and laminar interactions. The upper row shows the density of the solar wind ions, while the lower row presents the density of the cometary ions. The left column corresponds to laminar upstream conditions, while the right column corresponds to turbulent upstream conditions. The position of the solar wind overdensity in the laminar case is reported in the turbulent case with the dashed red line. Similarly, the estimated gyration of the cometary ions in the plume in the laminar case is shown in the lower row with a blue dashed line.
