Hybrid simulation of foreshock waves and ion spectra and their linkage to cusp energetic ions
(2020-06-16)
A three-dimensional global hybrid simulation is carried out to investigate energetic ions and electromagnetic waves in the quasi-parallel (Q-parallel to) bow shock and cusp for a typical interplanetary magnetic field ...
Three-dimensional MHD simulations of interplanetary rotational discontinuities impacting the Earth's bow shock and magnetosheath
(2020-06-30)
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 ...
Two-dimensional hybrid simulation of the dayside reconnection layer and associated ion transport
(2020-06-30)
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 ...
Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet
(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. ...
Intermediate shocks in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic bow-shock flows with multiple interacting shock fronts
(2020-06-18)
Previous MHD simulations predict that when switch-on shock conditions obtain in the solar wind, the bow shock produced in front of an ellipsoidal obstacle will produce a unique bow shock configuration that includes a concave ...
Hall effect control of magnetotail dawn-dusk asymmetry: A three-dimensional global hybrid simulation
(2020-06-03)
Magnetotail reconnection and related phenomena (e.g., flux ropes, dipolarizing flux bundles, flow bursts, and particle injections) occur more frequently on the duskside than on the dawnside. Because this asymmetry can ...
Global-scale hybrid simulation of dayside magnetic reconnection under southward IMF: Structure and evolution of reconnection
(2020-06-12)
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 ...
Three-dimensional hybrid simulation of magnetosheath reconnection under northward and southward interplanetary magnetic field
(2020-06-16)
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) ...
Investigation of storm time magnetotail and ion injection using three-dimensional global hybrid simulation
(2020-06-05)
Dynamics of the near-Earth magnetotail associated with substorms during a period of extended southward interplanetary magnetic field is studied using a three-dimensional (3-D) global hybrid simulation model that includes ...
Hybrid simulation of mode conversion at the magnetopause
(2020-06-16)
Two-dimensional hybrid simulations are used to investigate how fast-mode compressional waves incident on a magnetopause current layer mode convert both linearly and nonlinearly to short wavelength (k(perpendicular to)rho(i) ...
