Scientific paper

An MHD model of IMF diffusion into the magnetospheric tail is examined where the magnetosphere is approximated as an axisymmetric cavity which, at large distances from the earth, becomes a circular cylinder. An asymptotic solution is obtained to the problem of the diffusion of the transverse component of the magnetic field from the flow into the cylindrical cavity. At a magnetic Reynolds number of 100,000, the coefficient of IMF diffusion into the magnetospheric tail agrees with the mean value of the coefficient measured at a distance of 200 earth radii from the earth.
