| Description | This report describes the work done by SciberNet, Inc. during the month of October. We are working on the further refinement of the model used in our large-scale hybrid simulations of the magnetopause. Specifically, we are experimenting with several ways of modeling the effects of cold magnetospheric ions into our simulations. In addition, we are preparing two presentations for the upcoming Fall AGU highlighting the results of these simulations. We have also made progress in our development of a new kinetic linear code which we are using to study the linear properties of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the magnetopause. We have extended the code from the electrostatic limit to the fully electromagnetic regime and are currently in the process of debugging and testing the code. Finally, we have made several test runs with our 2-D hybrid code for the magnetopause. The inflow-outflow boundary conditions are working properly. However, there are issues related to the setup and evolution of the original equilibrium that we are still trying to resolve. Finally, we are preparing several presentations for the upcoming Fall AGU. |
