This book was released on 1982 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A time-dependent, nonplanar, two-dimensional (2-D) magnetohydrodynamic computer simulation model is used to simulate a series of solar flare-generated shock waves and their subsequent disturbances in interplanetary space between the sun and the earth's magnetosphere. The canonical or anzatz series of shock waves include initial velocities near the sun over the range 500 to 3000 km/sec. The ambient solar wind, through which the shocks propagate, is taken to be a steady-state flow that is independent of heliolongitude; its radial dependency consists of a representative set of plasma and magnetic field parameters which will be presented. Particular attention is directed to the MHD model's ability to address fundamental operational questions regarding the long-range forecasting of geomagnetic disturbances. These questions are: (1) will a disturbance (such as the present canonical series of solar flare shock waves) produce a magnetospheric and ionospheric disturbance, and, if so; (2) when wil it start; (3) how severe will it be; and (4) how long will it last? The model's output is used to compute various solar wind indices of current interest for this purpose. It is concluded that future work should be focused on a cohesive updating of, for example, daily measured solar parameters as input for the model whose output should be compared with spacecraft data for specific events.

Download or read book Interplanetary Magnetohydrodynamics written by L. F. Burlaga and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-07-06 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spacecraft such as the Pioneer, Vela, and Voyager have explored the interplanetary medium between the orbits of Mercury and Pluto. The insights derived from these missions have been successfully applied to magnetospheric, astro-solar, and cosmic ray physics. This book is an overview of these insights, using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows as the framework for interpreting objects and processes observed in the interplanetary medium. Topics include various types of MHD shocks and interactions among them, tangential and rotational discontinuities, force-free field configurations, the formation of merged interaction regions associated with various types of flows, the destruction of flows, the growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and formation of a heliospheric vortex street, the development of multifractal fluctuations on various scales, and the evolution of multifractal intermittent turbulence. Students and researchers in astrophysics will value the data from these missions, which provide confirmation of many theoretical models of the interstellar medium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings contain the review and contributed papers given at the SMY--SMA Workshop held in Irkutsk (USSR), 17--24 June 1985. The main themes of the Workshop were plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics with applications to processes occurring in solar flares. The papers published in this volume are organized around the following topics: -- the reconnection of coronal magnetic fields as a source of flare energy -- the acceleration of particles to high energies -- the dynamics of interplanetary clouds and shocks

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence over the past several years of space plasma simula tions as a distinct field of endeavor, rather than simply the somewhat startling offspring of plasma physics, computer simulations and space observations, has necessitated a concentrated effort at interdigitat ing its parent and component fields. After several years of working the benefits of a well-defined interactive community of those without working in the field, a group of those who had gained greatly from setting up joint research projects and other lines of communication, arranged to further these gains by setting up the First International School for Space Simulations, which was organized by Kyoto University and held in Kyoto, Japan in November 1982. Its unqualified success led to the organization of the second such School, this time by the University of California, Los Angeles, and held in Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii. The Second International School for Space Simulations drew some 175 attendees from around the world; the distribution of attendees approached the targeted equal representation by established investi gators and graduate students/beginning investigators. This strong attendance by graduate students and beginning investigators was due to the generous support of a number of funding agencies from the United States and Japan as well as international scientific organizations.

This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers intimately all the topics necessary for the development of a robust magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code within the framework of the cell-centered finite volume method (FVM) and its applications in space weather study. First, it presents a brief review of existing MHD models in studying solar corona and the heliosphere. Then it introduces the cell-centered FVM in three-dimensional computational domain. Finally, the book presents some applications of FVM to the MHD codes on spherical coordinates in various research fields of space weather, focusing on the development of the 3D Solar-InterPlanetary space-time Conservation Element and Solution Element (SIP-CESE) MHD model and its applications to space weather studies in various aspects. The book is written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers, engineers and researchers in solar-terrestrial physics, space weather theory, modeling, and prediction, computational fluid dynamics, and MHD simulations. It helps readers to fully understand and implement a robust and versatile MHD code based on the cell-centered FVM.
