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...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Three-Dimensional Drop Collisions
Three-dimensional simulations of the off-axis collisions of two drops are presented. The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a front-tracking finite difference method that allows a fully deformable fluid interface and the inclusion of surface tension. Depending on whether the interface between the drops is ruptured or not, the drops either bounce or coalesce. For drops that coalesce, the...
متن کاملThree-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of asymmetric pulsar wind bow shocks
We present three-dimensional, nonrelativistic, hydrodynamic simulations of bow shocks in pulsar wind nebulae. The simulations are performed for a range of initial and boundary conditions to quantify the degree of asymmetry produced by latitudinal variations in the momentum flux of the pulsar wind, radiative cooling in the postshock flow, and density gradients in the interstellar medium (ISM). W...
متن کاملThree-dimensional multi-fluid simulations of Pluto’s magnetosphere: A comparison to 3D hybrid simulations
[1] Results from 3D multi-fluid simulations of the solar wind interaction with Pluto are compared to 3D hybrid simulations of the same interaction. The results from the multi-fluid simulations are similar to the hybrid results in both the overall size of the magnetosphere as well as predicting pick-up of ionospheric ions by the solar wind. The results from the multi-fluid simulations also show ...
متن کاملThe Disturbance of a Millisecond Pulsar Magnetosphere
Pulsar timing has enabled some of the strongest tests of fundamental physics. Central to the technique is the assumption that the detected radio pulses can be used to accurately measure the rotation of the pulsar. Here we report on a broad-band variation in the pulse profile of the millisecond pulsar J1643−1224. A new component of emission suddenly appears in the pulse profile, decays over 4 mo...
