Periodic plasma escape from the mass‐loaded Kronian magnetosphere
[1] We use a single‐fluid global MHD model to study the solar wind control of large‐ scale mass loading and plasma release phenomena in the Kronian magnetosphere. We show that, at high solar wind dynamic pressure, the loss of plasma in the magnetotail is continuous. At medium dynamic pressure, plasmoids are pinched off periodically along an X‐line in the postmidnight sector through a cascade of...
متن کاملAzimuthal magnetic fields in Saturn’s magnetosphere: effects associated with plasma sub-corotation and the magnetopause-tail current system
We calculate the azimuthal magnetic fields expected to be present in Saturn’s magnetosphere associated with two physical effects, and compare them with the fields observed during the flybys of the two Voyager spacecraft. The first effect is associated with the magnetosphereionosphere coupling currents which result from the subcorotation of the magnetospheric plasma. This is calculated from empi...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
On viscous flow and azimuthal anisotropy of the quarkgluon plasma in a strong magnetic field
We calculate the viscous pressure tensor of the quarkgluon plasma in a strong magnetic field. It is azimuthally anisotropic and is characterized by five shear viscosity coefficients, four of which vanish when the field strength eB is much larger than the plasma temperature squared. We argue that the azimuthally anisotropic viscous pressure tensor generates the asymmetric transverse flow. As an ...
متن کاملAzimuthal plasma pressure gradient in quiet time plasma sheet
[1] We have investigated the quiet-time azimuthal plasma pressure gradient in the plasma sheet at a radial distance of 10 RE to 12 RE using two THEMIS spacecraft that were in overlapping orbits during the 2008 THEMIS tail season. The equatorial plasma pressure is estimated by using the insitu measurement of the plasma pressure and magnetic pressure based on pressure balance assumption. The resu...
