This paper examines the global interaction of the solar wind with the geomagnetic field, using a newly developed three-dimensional high-precision MHD simulation code which employs the fourth-order Runge-Kutta-Gill scheme in time and the direct finite-difference method in space, and which allows much less numerical error than the conventional code. The simulation reveals in detail the formation processes of the magnetosphere and the bow shock, as well as the plasma sheet formation process. It is shown that, contrary to the conventional understanding, no Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurs along the magnetopause in an ideal MHD.
