The Rice Convection Model (RCM) is an established physical model of the inner and middle magnetosphere that includes coupling to the ionosphere. It uses a many-fluid formalism to describe adiabatically drifting isotropic particle distributions in a self-consistently computed electric field and specified magnetic field. We review a long-standing effort at Rice University in magnetospheric modeling with the Rice Convection Model. After briefly describing the basic assumptions and equations that make up the core of the RCM, we present a sampling of recent results using the model. We conclude with a brief description of ongoing and future improvements to the RCM.
