Local hybrid simulations of gyro-resonance at a velocity shear layer in Mercury's magnetotail.
| Simulation | Description |
|---|---|
| merc2d_s0p5 | Local hybrid simulation of shear layers at the dusk and dawn flanks of Mercury's magnetotail, for a sodium ion density equal to half the magnetospheric proton density. |
Hybrid simulations of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
| Simulation | Description |
|---|---|
| Hybrid-KH1 | Hybrid simulation of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability under velocity shear dv=v_A where v_A is Alfven velocity. There are two velocity shears in the simulation. The shears are not equivalent because of direction of convective electric field. This configuration thus in fact models the flow of plasma around magnetosphere at dawn and dusk sides within one simulation. See paper by Henri et al., Phys. Plasmas 20, 102118 (2013), doi: 10.1063/1.4826214 for more information about the simulation setup and analysis of data. |
