Coupled Kelvin-Helmholtz and Tearing Mode Instabilities at the Mercury's Magnetopause
Abstract
A MHD approach for numerical simulations of coupled Kelvin-Helmholtz and tearing mode instabilities has been applied to Mercury’s magnetopause and used to perform a physical parameters study constrained by the MESSENGER data.
