Research Abstract

We studied the mechanism of energy and momentum transfer in the solar terrestrial system using computer simulations and numerical analyses. The main results are as follows : (1) The macroscopic and microscopic interactions between comets and the solar wind plasma were studied by a 3-D magnetohydrodynamics code (MHD code) and a hybrid electromagnetic code, respectively. The former clarified the structures of the interplanetary magnetic field in the vicinity of comets. The latter studied nonlinear evolution of low frequency electromagnetic waves which are excited due to the interaction between cometary heavy ions and the solar wind plasma. (2) Interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere was investigated using an MHD code. We quantitatively analyzed the formation process of magnetic flux rope and a plasmoid associated with the magnetic reconnection at the day-side magnetosphere and in the magnetotail. (3) Reflection and dissipation of ions in the quasi-parallel shock region were studied using a hybrid code. (4) Energy and momentum transfer due to a Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability at the magnetospheric boundary region was quantitatively studied using an MHD code. (5) Wave-particle interactions in the magnetosphere such as VLF triggered emission were investigated using an electromagnetic particle code. We studied the stability of the current induced double layer and electron beam dynamics in the aurora region.
Substantial advancement of simulation research was achieved by exchanging each result and new ideas under the generalized theme "mechanism of the energy and momentum transfer in the solar terrestrial space. " The results obtained by each researcher were submitted to scientific journals and presented at many conferences.
