Scientific paper

We use our 3D multi-fluid MHD model to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with non-magnetized planets, Mars in particular. We set the lower boundary to 100 km and consider photo and electron impact ionization as well as charge exchange in our chemistry. We also add more realistic physical processes to our model, and test it against different solar wind conditions. In addition, we are solving for the electron pressure and therefore for the electron fluid. We also calculate the escape fluxes and compare our results to observations.
