Collisionless plasma sheath expansion away from a square corner is studied using a particle-in-cell simulation. It is found that the sheath edge, ion impact angle and ion flux are essentially self-similar. This near self-similarity is due to the quasi-static expansion of a scale-invariant Child - Langmuir sheath.
