Earth Magnetosphere: Electrodynamics
Scientific paper
The configurations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability regions at the magnetosphere boundary are obtained in the incompressible case as a function of the angle θ between the interplanetary magnetic field and the geomagnetic field for different density ratios at the boundary based on a numerical solution to the problem of streamline flow around the magnetosphere near the magnetic barrier. For θ = O, the instability region lies near the equatorial plane. This region shrinks and shifts towards higher latitudes with increasing angle θ. Growth of the shock front at the discontinuity serves to reduce the size of the instability regions. Using these results it was possible to estimate the thickness of the viscous boundary layer and the distribution of the electrical potential at the magnetosphere boundary near the equatorial plane.
