2-D Unstructured Mesh Particle-MHD Solar Wind Flow Over the Earth:Density and Magnetic Field (1995)
1995 · Short film · 2 min
Synopsis
This series of animations shows a two-dimensional unstructured mesh particle-magnetohydrodynamic solar wind flow simulation of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere. Note: Magnetic field lines superimposed over density for a 2D simulation of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. Animator: Liam Krauss (Hughes STX), Andy Acuna (Hughes STX). Scientist: F. Kazeminezhad (NASA/GSFC), Steve Zalesak (NASA/GSFC), Dan Spicer (NASA/GSFC).
