Simulation experiments have been conducted in the laboratory to investigate plasma flow in the vicinity of a model magnetosphere. The experiments involve the injection of luminous thermal plasma by means of a newly designed plasma emitter, called the powered double probe (PDP). Flow processes in the absence and in the presence of an external field were studied. It was found that the luminous PDP discharge plasma drifts along magnetic field lines. The configuration of the nightside magnetic field lines was similar to that proposed by Dungey (1961). Attention is given to results which indicate the characteristics of a stable 'open' magnetosphere. One result appears to imply a direct IMF control of the magnetospheric configuration.
