Generalization of the method for averaging the distribution function for particle trajectories as applied to problems of numerical modeling of conic instability of magnetospheric plasma
Abstract
A description of several numerical approaches to a solution of modeling conic instability of magnetospheric plasma on a computer is presented. The possibility of using an averaging algorithm for particle trajectories is established on the basis of results of a solution of the problem concerning particle movement in a magnetic field of the square well type. This permits formulation of an effective method for solving this problem as applied to actual geomagnetic fields.
