Kabin, Konstantin, Rankin, Robert, Sydorenko, Dmytro
A two-dimensional nonlinear multi-fluid MHD model of the ionosperic Alfven resonator is presented. The resonator is excited by a packet of shear Alfven waves propagating downward toward the ionosphere from high altitudes. It is shown that the nonlinear (ponderomotive) force of standing...

Simulation of O+ upflows created by electron precipitation and Alfvén waves in the ionosphere
Download2013
Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
A two-dimensional model of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling is presented. It includes Alfven wave dynamics, ion motion along the geomagnetic field, chemical reactions between ions and neutrals, collisions between different species, and a parametric model of electron precipitation. Representative...
