3D Global MHD Simulation of the Saturn Magnetospheric Plasma Interaction with Titan's Ionosphere
Abstract
The interaction between Titan's ionosphere and its surrounding plasma is simulated using our 3D multi-species MHD model.We compare the simulation results with the observations obtained during the T9 flyby, using the upstream plasma parameters measured during the flyby. The Hall term (JXB) is also included in the model to investigate the ion gyro-radii effect.
