Energy Partitioning at the Termination Shock
Judit Szente, Bart van der Holst, Gabor Toth +1
We show new results of a global 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the Boston University outer heliosphere model where we used a newly developed approach that distributes t…
The Effects of Energy Conservation in Simulating Solar Eruptions
Xianyu Liu, Spiro K. Antiochos, Nishtha Sachdeva +6
Strict energy conservation is, perhaps, the most basic principle in all physics, but has proven to be difficult to satisfy in numerical simulations of solar eruptions. The Alfvén W…
Effects of the Background Magnetic Field on Flux Rope Eruptions
Xianyu Liu, Spiro K. Antiochos, Igor V. Sokolov +5
Solar eruptive events are generally believed to involve magnetic flux ropes (MFR), formed either in the pre-eruptive phase of the event or during the eruption itself. These MFR eru…
Global Multi-ion Solar Wind Model. I. Ion Temperatures
Bart van der Holst, Judit Szente, Enrico Landi
Over the past several decades, observations have shown that minor ions have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar wind. Theories based on turbulence have b…
