A plasma flow field around a magnetized planet is much different from that around an unmagnetized planet because of the interaction of charged particles with the magnetic field, and is more complicated. For example, there are discontinuities such as shocks and tangential/rotational discontinuities in front of the earth. In addition, there is the magnetic reconnection at the magnetic neutral sheet which is downstream the earth, and is the Kelvin-Helmholts instability on the magnetopause. The phenomena relate with the electromagnetic phenomena observed on the earth. As a preliminary study, the capability of the numerical approach to the particular problem is examined in the present study. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are solved using a central differencing scheme with the Jameson's artificial dissipation and Runge-Kutta-Gill time integration. Although discontinuities obtained are captured with three to four grid points, there are numerical oscillations around the discontinuities.
