Quasi-static MHD processes in Earth's magnetosphere

Three-dimensional MHD simulations of Ganymede’s magnetosphere

[1] Ganymede is unique among planetary moons because it has its own magnetic field strong enough to form a magnetosphere within Jupiter’s magnetospheric environment. Here we report on our three-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations that model the interaction between Ganymede’s magnetosphere and the corotating Jovian plasma. We use the measured field and particle properties to...

Is the Magnetosphere a Lens for Mhd Waves?

A novel viewpoint of the magnetosphere as a lens for MHD waves is presented. Using a simple model of the variation of the Allyen speed as proportional to the local magnetic field value given by the Earth's dipole field and that due to the magnetopause currents represented by a current loop, it is found that the near-Earth magnetotail, in the range 8 16 RE, is the focus of the magnetospheric len...

Quasi-Static Numerical Simulation of Missile Staging

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
