Scientific paper

A three-dimensional (3-D) time-dependent, numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model with asynchronous and parallel time-marching method is used to investigate the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the nonhomogenous background solar wind flow. The background solar wind is constructed based on the self-consistent source surface with observed line-of-sight of magnetic field and density from the source surface of 2.5 Rs to the Earth's orbit (215 Rs) and beyond. The CMEs are simulated by means of a very simple flux rope model: a high-density, high-velocity, and high-temperature magnetized plasma blob is superimposed on a steady state background solar wind with an initial launch direction. The dynamical interaction of a CME with the background solar wind flow between 2.5 and 220 Rs is investigated. The evolution of the physical parameters at the cobpoint, which is located at the shock front region magnetically connected to ACE spacecraft, is also investigated. We have chosen the well-defined halo-CME event of 4-6 April 2000 as a test case. In this validation study we find that this 3-D MHD model, with the asynchronous and parallel time-marching method, the self-consistent source surface as initial boundary conditions, and the simple flux rope as CME model, provide a relatively satisfactory comparison with the ACE spacecraft observations at the L1 point.
