The paper presents results of a one-dimensional hybrid simulation of the boundary region that exists between the dense release plasma and its associated diamagnetic cavity, and the oncoming solar wind flow and field. A quasi-steady field and plasma structure is found to evolve which allows momentum transfer to occur on scales which are smaller than the gyroscales of both ion species. From simple considerations an analytical estimate of the snowplough speed has been obtained which is in excellent agreement with the simulation results. Ultimately, this should allow scaling of the results presented to the parameters of the actual AMPTE releases.
