Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet 

Lin, Y.; Swift, DW; 0000-0001-8003-9252 (2020-06-25)
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 sheet. ...

Simulation of pressure pulses in the bow shock and magnetosheath driven by variations in interplanetary magnetic field direction 

Lin, Y; Swift, DW; Lee, LC; 0000-0003-4012-991X (2022-10-25)
Two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid simulations are carried out to study the effects of the variation in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) direction on the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere. A curvilinear coordinate ...
