In this paper a method is concerned which makes it possible to describe numerically and analytically the most famous structures
in the non-equilibrium ionosphere, such as stratified and yacht sail like structures, flute jets, wakes and clouds. These
problems are of practical interest in space sciences, astrophysics and in turbulence theory, and also of fundamental interest
since they enable one to concentrate on the effects of the ambient electric and magnetic fields. Disturbances of charged particle
flows due to the ambient flow interactions with bodies are simulated with taking into account the ambient magnetic field effect.
The effects of interactions between solid surfaces and the flows was simulated by making use of an original image method.
The flow disturbances were described by the Boltzmann equation. In the case of the ambient homogeneous magnetic field the
Boltzmann equation is solved analytically. The case of diffuse reflection of particles by surface is considered in detail.
The disturbances of charged particle concentration are calculated in 3D space. The contours of constant particle concentration
obtained from numerical simulations illustrate the dynamics of developing stratifications and flute structures in charged
particle jets and feffect. The wakes under the ambient magnetic field effect. The basic goal of this paper is to present the
method and to demonstate its possibility for simulations of turbulence, plasma jets, wakes and clouds inthe ionosphere and
Space when effects of electric and magnetic fields are taken into account.

Based on the single-fluid MHD model of Mars space simulation, this paper has studied the magnetic field structure in the near-Mars space and investigated the influence of Martian crustal magnetic anomalies on the magnetic field structure. In the process of the solar wind interaction with Mars, the bow shock and magnetic pile-up region are produced. The interplanetary magnetic lines are curved and deformed while they are towed toward the two poles by the solar wind. The majority of magnetic lines bypass the two poles, then leave behind a ‘V-shaped’ structure in the magnetotail behind Mars. In the crust of Mars, the local magnetic anomalies have a noticeable influence on the magnetic field structure. The magnetic anomalies at different positions and in different intensities interact with the solar wind to form the mini-magnetospheres of different structures and morphologies, such as the towed mini-magnetosphere and the mini-magnetosphere with open magnetic lines. The local magnetic anomalies have changed the near-Mars magnetic field structure, and probably changed the plasma distribution as well. 相似文献

The steady state solution of a three species magnetoplasma is presented. It is shown that relaxed magnetic field configuration
results in a triple curl Beltrami equation which permits the existence of three structures. It is the consequence of inertial
effects of the plasma constituents. One of the three vortices is of large scale while the remaining two relaxed structures
are of small size of the order of electron skin depth. The magnetic field profiles are given for different Beltrami parameters.
The study could be helpful to understand large magnetic field structures in three species plasmas found in space and laboratory. 相似文献

The structure of the solar corona is dominated by the magnetic field because the magnetic pressure is about four orders of
magnitude higher than the plasma pressure. Due to the high conductivity the emitting coronal plasma (visible, e.g., in SOHO/EIT)
outlines the magnetic field lines. The gradient of the emitting plasma structures is significantly lower parallel to the magnetic
field lines than in the perpendicular direction. Consequently information regarding the coronal magnetic field can be used
for the interpretation of coronal plasma structures. We extrapolate the coronal magnetic field from photospheric magnetic
field measurements into the corona. The extrapolation method depends on assumptions regarding coronal currents, e.g., potential
fields (current-free) or force-free fields (current parallel to magnetic field). As a next step we project the reconstructed
3D magnetic field lines on an EIT-image and compare with the emitting plasma structures. Coronal loops are identified as closed
magnetic field lines with a high emissivity in EIT and a small gradient of the emissivity along the magnetic field. 相似文献

Coronal mass ejections and high-speed streams from the Sun, and related structures formed and evolved in interplanetary space,
i.e. interplanetary manifestations of CMEs (ICMEs) and stream interaction regions (SIRs)/corotating interaction regions (CIRs),
are mainly responsible for geomagnetic disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic environment. However, the presence or absence
of associated/finer structures of ICMEs (e.g., shock/sheath, magnetic cloud) and SIRs/CIRs (forward and reverse shocks, stream
interface) might influence their geoeffectiveness as these features within large-scale structures of ICMEs and SIRs display
different and varying plasma and field characteristics. In this work, we analyze the solar-wind plasma and field parameters
(plasma velocity, density and pressure, magnetic field, its north-south component and electric field) together with geomagnetic
activity parameters (kp and Dst), applying the method of superposed epoch analysis. By systematically changing the time of passage of different features
as epochs, e.g. discontinuities/shocks, CMEs/magnetic clouds in ICMEs and discontinuities/forward shocks in SIRs/CIRs, we
study the relative geoeffectiveness of not only the large-scale structures (ICMEs/SIRs/CIRs), but of their finer features
also. We critically analyze the differences in geoeffectiveness due to different structures and features, with distinct plasma/field
characteristics, and we utilize these results to understand the mechanism during their interaction with geospace. 相似文献

A subset of CMEs, called interplanetary magnetic clouds (MCs), are observed to have systematic rotation [northward to southward (NS) or southward to northward (SN)] in their field structures. These MCs identified in the heliospheric plasma and field data at 1 AU may have different features associated with them. These structures (NS/SN) may be isolated MC moving with the ambient solar wind. MCs (NS/SN) may also be associated with shock/sheath region, formed due to compression of the ambient plasma/field ahead of them. A fraction from each of these four types of MCs have additional features, being ‘pushed’ by fast solar wind streams from coronal holes, forming interaction region (IR) between MCs and high-speed solar wind streams (HSS). Using these different sets of MCs, we have done a detailed study of the geoeffectiveness of NS and SN turning MCs and their associated features (shock/sheath, IR and HSS). To study the process that produces the geomagnetic disturbances and influences its amplitude/duration, we have utilized the interplanetary plasma and field parameters, namely, plasma velocity, density, temperature, pressure, field strength and its north-south component, during the passage of these structures with different associated properties. Differences in the geoeffectiveness of MCs with different structural and dynamical properties have been identified. The possible role of high-speed stream in influencing the recovery time (and hence duration) of geomagnetic disturbance has also been investigated. A best-fit equation representing the relation between level of the geomagnetic activity (due to MCs) and interplanetary plasma/field parameter has been obtained. 相似文献

PROGNOZ-7 observations of intense “magnetosheath-like” plasma deep inside the high latitude boundary layer, the plasma mantle, indicates that solar wind plasma elements may occasionally penetrate the magnetopause and form high density regions in the plasma mantle. These “magnetosheath-like” regions are usually associated with strong flow of solar wind ions (e.g. H+ and He2+) and the presence of terrestrial ions (e.g. O+). The magnetosheath-like structures may roughly be classified as “newly injected” or “stagnant”. The newly injected structures have characteristics very similar to those found in the magnetosheath, i.e. strong antisunward flow and magnetosheath ion composition and density. The magnetic field characteristics may, however, differ considerably from those found further out in the magnetosheath. The “stagnant” structures are characterized by a reduced plasma flow, a lower density and a different ion composition as compared to that in the magnetosheath. In a few cases newly injected structures were even found in the innermost part of the mantle (i.e. forming a “boundary region” adjacent to the lobe). These cases were also associated with fairly strong fluxes of O+ ions in the outer mantle. Whilst the newly injected type of magnetosheath-like structure contained almost no O+ ions, the stagnant regions were intermixed by an appreciable amount of ionospheric ions. The newly injected and stagnant penetration regions had both in common a diamagnetic decrease of the ambient magnetic field. The newly injected structures, however, were also associated with a considerable reorientation of the magnetic field vector. A common feature for penetration regions well separated from the magnetopause is that they are mainly observed for a southward IMF. A third category of plasma mantle penetrated events, denoted “open magnetopause” events, usually occurred when the IMF was away and northward. Characteristics for these events were a smooth transition/rotation of the magnetic field vector near the magnetopause, and fairly high ion densities in the mantle and the transition region. 相似文献

We present a method to include stereoscopic information about the three-dimensional structure of flux tubes into the reconstruction of the coronal magnetic field. Due to the low plasma beta in the corona we can assume a force-free magnetic field, with the current density parallel to the magnetic field lines. Here we use linear force-free fields for simplicity. The method uses the line-of-sight magnetic field on the photosphere as observational input. The value of is determined iteratively by comparing the reconstructed magnetic field with the observed structures. The final configuration is the optimal linear force-free solution constrained by both the photospheric magnetogram and the observed plasma structures. As an example we apply our method to SOHO MDI/EIT data of an active region. In the future it is planned to apply the method to analyse data from the SECCHI instrument aboard the STEREO mission. 相似文献

A time-dependent, nonplanar, two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic computer model is used to simulate a series, separately examined, of solar flare-generated shock waves and their subsequent disturbances in interplanetary space between the Sun and the Earth's magnetosphere. The ‘canonical’ or ansatz series of shock waves include initial velocities near the Sun over the range 500 to 3500 km s?1. The ambient solar wind, through which they propagate, is taken to be a steady-state homogeneous plasma (that is, independent of heliolongitude) with a representative set of plasma and magnetic field parameters. Complete sets of solar wind plasma and magnetic field parameters are presented and discussed. Particular attention is addressed to the MHD model's ability to address fundamental operational questions vis-à-vis the long-range forecasting of geomagnetic disturbances. These questions are: (i) will a disturbance (such as the present canonical series of solar flare shock waves) produce a magnetospheric and ionospheric disturbance, and, if so, (ii) when will it start, (iii) how severe will it be, and (iv) how long will it last? The model's output is used to compute various solar wind indices of current interest as a demonstration of the model's potential for providing ‘answers’ to these questions. 相似文献

We describe how a local plasma structure can be changed by a transverse shear flow using numerical simulation to investigate the disturbance process near the magnetopause. The results show that magnetic field lines are bent by transverse shear flow disturbance near the current sheet region. There are multiple bipolar structures of the normal magnetic field in the numerical simulation. We term this new feature as K-point magnetic reconnection, realistic for discussing space observations. 相似文献

Instability of a stratified layer of a partially-ionized plasma has been investigated in the simultaneous presence of the effects of Hall currents, magnetic resistivity, finite Larmor radius (FLR), and viscosity. The ambient magnetic field is assumed to be uniform and acting along the vertical direction. The solution is shown to be characterized by a variational principle, based on it the solution has been obtained for a plasma in which the density is stratified exponentially along the vertical. It is found that the viscosity, friction with neutrals, and FLR have all stabilizing influence on the growth rate of the unstable mode of disturbance. Magnetic resistivity and Hall currents are, however, found to have a destabilizing influence. 相似文献

Ambient electron heating rates along several magnetic field lines have been determined for subsequent studies of electron and ion temperatures. Use is made of the modified diffusion method for computing the heating of the ambient plasma, and the escape fluxes from both hemispheres are coupled by self-consistent upper boundary conditions supplied by interhemispheric fluxes degraded in energy along the magnetic field tubes. Heating rates and fluxes are presented for several low L-shells appropriate for noon solstice conditions when both hemispheres are illuminated. The opacity of the field tubes as a function of L is expected to go through a minimum due to the transition from large collective effects of coulomb small angle scattering and energy loss for high L-shells, to a domination by neutral scattering all along the field lines of low L-shells. 相似文献

A one-dimensional electrostatic particle simulation of plasma streaming perpendicular to a magnetic field with nonperiodic boundary condition has been carried out. When a bulk of plasma in injected across an ambient magnetic field, a stream of neutral plasma, consisting of equal numbers of ions and electrons, polarizes, and the resulting polarization electric field gives rise to the penetration of plasma across the magnetic field so that the integrity of plasma maintains. Computer simulation demonstrates the properties of cross-field propagation of plasma stream in a magnetic field with different plasma parameters. 相似文献

We discuss the effects of certain dynamic features of space environment in the heliosphere, the geo-magnetosphere, and the
earth’s atmosphere. In particular, transient perturbations in solar wind plasma, interplanetary magnetic field, and energetic
charged particle (cosmic ray) fluxes near 1 AU in the heliosphere have been discussed. Transient variations in magnetic activity
in geo-magnetosphere and solar modulation effects in the heliosphere have also been studied. Emphasis is on certain features
of transient perturbations related to space weather effects. Relationships between geomagnetic storms and transient modulations
in cosmic ray intensity (Forbush decreases), especially those caused by shock-associated interplanetary disturbances, have
been studied in detail. We have analysed the cosmic ray, geomagnetic and interplanetary plasma/field data to understand the
physical mechanisms of two phenomena namely, Forbush decrease and geomagnetic storms, and to search for precursors to Forbush
decrease (and geomagnetic storms) that can be used as a signature to forecast space weather. It is shown that the use of cosmic
ray records has practical application for space weather predictions. Enhanced diurnal anisotropy and intensity deficit of
cosmic rays have been identified as precursors to Forbush decreases in cosmic ray intensity. It is found that precursor to
smaller (less than 5%) amplitude Forbush decrease due to weaker interplanetary shock is enhanced diurnal anisotropy. However,
larger amplitude (greater than 5%) Forbush decrease due to stronger interplanetary shock shows loss cone type intensity deficit
as precursor in ground based intensity record. These precursors can be used as inputs for space weather forecast. 相似文献

Areas of lunar surface magnetic field are observed to ‘mirror’ low energy electrons present in the normal lunar space environment. The ambient electrons provide, in effect, a probe along the ambient magnetic field lines down to the lunar surface for remote sensing of the presence of surface fields. This probe, unlike direct measurement by the magnetometer, does not require low altitude or a very stable (magnetotail) ambient field to provide a mapping of regions of occurrence of such fields. Use of the on-board vector magnetometer measurements of the ambient magnetic field orientation allows accurate projection of such mapping onto the lunar surface. Preliminary maps of the lunar surface magnetic areas underlying the orbit of the ‘Particles and Fields Satellite deployed from Apollo-16’ have been generated, obtaining 40% coverage from partial data to demonstrate feasibility of the technique. As well as providing independent verification of areas such as Van de Graaff already discovered in the magnetometer data, these maps reveal many previously unreported areas of surface magnetism. The method is sensitive to fields of less than 0.1γ at the surface. Application to the full body of available PFS-1 & 2 electron data is expected to provide complete mapping of the lunar surface for areas of magnetization up to latitudes of 35–40 deg. The surface field regions observed are generally due to sources smaller than 10–50 km in size, although many individual regions are often so close together as to give much larger regions of effectively continuous mirroring. Absence of consistent mirroring by any global field places an upper limit on the size of any net lunar dipole moment of less than 1010 γ km3. Much additional information regarding the magnetic regions can be obtained by correlated analysis of both the electron return and vector magnetometer measurements at orbital altitude, the two techniques providing each other with directly complimentary measurements at the satellite and along the ambient field lines to the surface. 相似文献

We have shown that a current-carrying plasma loop can be heated by magnetic pinch driven by the pressure imbalance between inside and outside the loop, using a 3-dimensional electromagnetic (EM) particle code. Both electrons and ions in the loop can be heated in the direction perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field, therefore the perpendicular temperature can be increased about 10 times compared with the parallel temperature. This temperature anisotropy produced by the magnetic pinch heating can induce a plasma instability, by which high-frequency electromagnetic waves can be excited. The plasma current which is enhanced by the magnetic pinch can also excite a kinetic kink instability, which can heat ions perpendicular to the magnetic field. The heating mechanism of ions as well as the electromagnetic emission could be important for an understanding of the coronal loop heating and the electromagnetic wave emissions from active coronal regions. 相似文献

In the present paper self-similar solutions have been investigated for the propagation of piston driven, radiative gas-dynamic shocks into an inhomogeneous ideal gas permeated by a current free azimuthal magnetic field for spherical symmetry. The effects of radiation flux and magnetic field together have been seen in the region of interest on the other flow variables. The total energy of the flow between the piston and the shock is taken to be dependent on the shock radius obeying a power law. The radiative pressure and energy have been neglected. This problem is more general than the others done so far. The word piston implies some means to drive plasma radially onwards. 相似文献

Coherent structures entailing the existence of double layers have been studied in magnetised plasma contaminated with dust
charging fluctuations. It has been shown that the dust charging in magnetic plasma leads to complexity in the derivation of
the Sagdeev wave equation, but under way new procedure enable one to study the nature of double layers showing the effective
role of the constituents of the plasma. A parametric analysis is a subject of interest in laboratory and space plasmas, and
it has been explained with the input of various typical plasma numerics. The proposed mathematical mechanism has shown the
success to yield plasma acoustic modes in a dusty plasma which, in turn, has been solved convincingly for double layers. Observations
have been evaluated in an appropriate model with a view to agree with the observations in astrophysical problems dealing with
present new findings. 相似文献

We address the problem of plasma penetration of astrophysical magnetospheres, an important issue in a wide variety of contexts, ranging from accretion in cataclysmic variables to flows in protostellar systems. We point out that under well-defined conditions, penetration can occur without any turbulent mixing (driven, for example, by Rayleigh–Taylor or Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities) caused by charge polarization effects, if the inflowing plasma is bounded in the direction transverse to both the flow velocity and the magnetic field. Depolarization effects limit the penetration depth, which nevertheless can, under specific circumstances, be comparable to the size of the magnetosphere. We discuss the effect of ambient medium on plasma propagation across the stellar magnetic field and determine the criteria for deep magnetosphere penetration. We show that, under conditions appropriate to magnetized white dwarfs in AM Her type cataclysmic variables, charge polarization effects can lead to deep penetration of the magnetosphere. 相似文献

We study the behavior of the solar plasma over the photosphere in the zone of contact of oppositely directed magnetic fields.
A special technique of numerical simulation is used, which allows passing to the class of generalized functions as soon as
the solution loses smoothness. An initial-value problem is solved for the self-consistent nonlinear system of equations of
collisional magneto-gas-dynamics under the assumption that the distribution of physical quantities is two-dimensional and
the plasma has an initial temperature of 50 000 degrees. It is assumed that the magnetic field lines are straight, the physical
quantities are constant along them, and the resulting fluid velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field. It is shown that
a pinch effect develops under such conditions, which gives rise to much more diverse effects in a natural ambient medium than
in a laboratory plasma. The pinch effect produces narrow, variously directed jets of matter (including those going beyond
the zone of contact of the fields), forms cross-shaped patterns in the distribution of the magnetic field, velocity and density,
and gives rise to specific temperature nonuniformities. In the center of the contact zone, the plasma temperature increases
(we terminate the computations when it doubles). The jet velocity can exceed 20 km/s. 相似文献
