Escape of planetary atmospheres: physical processes and numerical models
Shematovich, V. I.; Marov, M. Ya
We address the problem of the dissipation (escape) of planetary atmospheres and discuss the physical mechanisms controlling the nature of the relevant processes and review the mathematical models and numerical methods used in the analysis of this phenomenon, taking the limitations imposed by available experimental data into account. The structural…
Global structure of the heliosphere: 3D kinetic-MHD model and the interpretation of spacecraft data
Izmodenov, V. V.
This paper is a brief overview of research into the interaction between the solar wind and local interstellar medium. This interaction determines the global structure of the heliosphere (the region occupied by the solar wind) and has a complex multicomponent character. We describe the three-dimensional kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic model of the inte…
