Gas Kinetic Schemes for Solving the Magnetohydrodynamic Equations with Pressure Anisotropy
Hongyang Luo, John G. Lyon, Binzheng Zhang
In many astrophysical plasmas, the Coulomb collision is insufficient to maintain an isotropic temperature, and the system is driven to the anisotropic regime. In this case, magneto…
How Jupiter's Unusual Magnetospheric Topology Structures Its Aurora
Binzheng Zhang, Peter A. Delamere, Zhonghua Yao +10
Jupiter's bright persistent polar aurora and Earth's dark polar region indicate that the planets' magnetospheric topologies are very different. High-resolution global simulations s…
GAMERA: A three-dimensional finite-volume MHD solver for non-orthogonal curvilinear geometries
Binzheng Zhang, Kareem A. Sorathia, John G. Lyon +3
Efficient simulation of plasmas in various contexts often involves the use of meshes that conform to the intrinsic geometry of the system under consideration. We present here a des…
Solar wind driving of magnetospheric ULF waves: Field line resonances driven by dynamic pressure fluctuations
S. G. Claudepierre, M. K. Hudson, W. Lotko +2
Several observational studies suggest that solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations can drive magnetospheric ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves on the dayside. To investigate this cau…
