SIMULATION STUDY OF THE RIEMANN PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAGNETOTAIL RECONNECTION
(2022-10-11)
The structure of reconnection layer in the distant magnetotail is studied by solving the Riemann problem for the evolution of an initial current sheet using one-dimensional MHD and hybrid simulations. Initially, the current ...
A two-dimensional hybrid simulation of the magnetotail reconnection layer
(2022-09-29)
Two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid simulations are carried out to study the structure of the reconnection layer in the distant magnetotail. In the simulation an initial current sheet separates the two lobes with antiparallel ...
Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet
(2022-10-04)
[1] A global two-dimensional hybrid simulation is carried out to study the evolution of the near-Earth plasma sheet. It is shown that reconnection X lines and plasmoids can be generated by diverging flows in the plasma ...
Global-scale hybrid simulation of dayside magnetic reconnection under southward IMF: Structure and evolution of reconnection
(2022-09-20)
Magnetopause reconnection is investigated with our 3-D self-consistent global hybrid simulation model. The magnetic configuration and evolution of Flux Transfer Events (FTEs) and the associated ion density and ion velocity ...
Two-dimensional hybrid simulation of the dayside reconnection layer and associated ion transport
(2022-09-20)
The structure of the reconnection layer at the dayside magnetopause is studied by using a two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid code. The simulation domain is a rectangle in the at plane around an X line at the magnetopause. In our ...
Global hybrid simulation of the dayside reconnection layer and associated field-aligned currents
(2022-09-20)
A two-dimensional global hybrid simulation is carried out to study the structure of the magnetopause boundary layer in the noon-midnight meridian plane associated with the dayside reconnection. In the simulation the bow ...
Generation of anomalous flows near the bow shock by its interaction with interplanetary discontinuities
(2022-09-20)
Two-dimensional hybrid simulations using a curvilinear coordinate system are carried out to study the interaction of the Earth's bow shock (BS) with an interplanetary directional discontinuity. In particular, plasma flow ...
Global-scale hybrid simulation of cusp precipitating ions associated with magnetopause reconnection under southward IMF
(2022-09-20)
With a 3-D global-scale hybrid simulation model, we investigate the energy spectra of cusp precipitating ions and issues associated with magnetopause reconnection under a southward IMF. Both the spatial and temporal energy ...
Three-dimensional MHD simulations of interplanetary rotational discontinuities impacting the Earth's bow shock and magnetosheath
(2022-09-28)
The first ever fully three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the detailed effects of MHD discontinuities on the magnetosheath have been performed. The simulation results predict that the interaction ...
Three-dimensional hybrid simulation of magnetosheath reconnection under northward and southward interplanetary magnetic field
(2022-09-29)
A three-dimensional (3-D) global hybrid simulation is carried out for the generation and structure of magnetic reconnection in the magnetosheath because of the interaction of an interplanetary tangential discontinuity (TD) ...
