چکیده

[1] We test the hypothesis that abrupt cessation of solar wind driving results in a different recovery profile for Dst than does a slow cessation. The difference arises when abrupt cessation of convection causes a large portion of the asymmetric ring current to be trapped, whereas continued, weakened convection permits a rapid initial loss of ring current particles through the dayside magnetopause. Specifically, we compare the initial recovery of the hourly Dst index for storms with gradual versus abrupt northward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We consider only storms with minimum Dst between 150 nT and 300 nT. We show that storms with abrupt northward turnings show the same recovery in the first 6 hours or slightly more recovery than do the storms with gradual northward turnings. Our results contradict the hypothesis that the rate of northward turning (i.e., shutoff of convection) largely determines the initial rate of recovery in Dst.

Unsteady free convection oscillatory couette flow through a variable porous medium with concentration profile

In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...

Ring current asymmetry from global simulations using a high-resolution electric field model

[1] We study ring current evolution during the 10 January 1997 geomagnetic storm, comparing results from two inner magnetospheric convection electric field models: (1) the Kp-dependent Volland-Stern (V-S) model and (2) the high spatial and temporal resolution assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics (AMIE) model, coupled with our global ring current model. We have added a penetration...

Finite integration method with RBFs for solving time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...
