Three-dimensional MHD modeling of the solar wind structures associated with 13 December 2006 coronal mass ejection

Kataoka, R.; Ebisuzaki, T.; Kusano, K. +4 more

A 3-D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation is performed to reconstruct the interplanetary propagation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that occurred on 13 December 2006. A spheromak-type magnetic field is superposed on a realistic ambient solar wind to reproduce the large-scale interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) associated with the CME. Here we s…
