Stream-aligned Magnetohydrodynamics for Solar Wind Simulations

چکیده
We present a reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mathematical model describing the dynamical behavior of highly conducting plasmas with frozen-in magnetic fields, constrained by assumption that, there exists frame reference, where field vector, $\mathbf{B}$, is aligned plasma velocity $\mathbf{u}$, at each point. call this solution "stream-aligned MHD" (SA-MHD). Within framework model, electric field, $\mathbf{E} = -\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{B} \equiv 0$, in induction equation vanishes identically and so does electromagnetic energy flux (Poynting flux), $\mathbf{E}\times\mathbf{B}\equiv0$, equation. At same time, force effect from on motion (the Ampere force) fully taken into account momentum Any steady-state proposed legitimate full MHD system equations. However, converse statement not true: an arbitrary have to vanish (its curl has to, though). Specifically, realistic tree-dimensional solutions for ("ambient") solar atmosphere form so-called Parker spirals, can be efficiently generated within stream-aligned (SA-MHD) no loss generality

We present the first large-scale comparison of the spatial distribution of field-aligned currents as measured by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment, with the location and brightness of the average auroral oval, determined from the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration far ultraviolet instrument. These distributions are compared under the sa...
متن کاملDevelopment of Coronal Field and Solar Wind Components for MHD Interplanetary Simulations
The connection between solar activity and adverse phenomena in the Earth’s environment that can affect space and ground based technologies has spurred interest in Space Weather (SW) research. A great effort has been put on the development of suitable models that can provide advanced forecast of SW events. With the progress in computational technology, it is becoming possible to develop operatio...
متن کاملSolar Wind: Global Properties
The most fundamental problem in solar system research is still unsolved: how can the Sun with a surface temperature of only 5800 K heat up its atmosphere to more than a million K? In fact, the solar atmosphere is so hot that not even the Sun’s enormous gravity can contain it. Part of it is continuously evaporating into interplanetary space: the SOLAR WIND. As a highly ionized magnetized plasma ...
