Solar Wind Plasma, Sources Of Solar Wind, Charge Transfer

Scientific paper

We present results from a hydrodynamic model of the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM), self-consistently taking into account the effects of charge exchange between the plasma component and the interstellar neutrals (for a detailed description on this model see Pauls et al., 1995). The simulation is fully time dependent, and is carried out in two or three dimensions, depending on whether the helio-latitudinal dependence of the solar wind speed and number density (both giving rise to three dimensional effects) are included. (Note that the neutral/plasma interactions are ignored in the three dimensional case). As a first approximation, it is assumed that the neutral component of the flow can be described by a single, isotropic fluid. Clearly, this is not the actual situation, since charge exchange with the solar wind plasma in the region of the nose results in a ``second'' neutral fluid propagating in the opposite direction to that of the LISM neutrals. These problems are addressed in the papers by Zank et al. (1995) and Williams et al. (1995).
