Scientific paper

We present our simulation results of the interaction between Saturn's magnetospheric plasma flow and Titan's atmosphere/ionosphere by using a multi-species global MHD model. A chemical model is used to describe Titan's atmosphere/ionosphere, which is based on 10 neutral and 7 ion spieces. This new model uses spherical coordinates (similar to our Mars model) leading to very good(~28km) altitude resolution. The simulation results are compared with the Voyager measurements and we also discuss our plans for the anticipated Cassini observations.
