We performed micromagnetic simulations of the current-induced domain wall motion in permalloy nanowires with rectangular cross-section. In the absence of the nonadiabatic spin-transfer term, a threshold current, Jc is required to drive the domain wall moving continuously. We find that Jc is proportional to the maximum cross product of the demagnetization field and magnetization orientation of the domain wall and the domain wall width. With varying both the wire thickness and width, a minimum threshold current in the order of 106 A/cm2 is obtained when the thickness is equivalent to the wire width. With the nonadiabatic spin-transfer term, the calculated domain wall velocity ν equals to the adiabatic spin transfer velocity u when the current is far above the Walker limit Jw. Below Jw, ν=βαu, where β is the nonadiabatic parameter and α is the damping factor. For different β, we find the Walker limit can be scaled as Jw=α|β-α|Jc. Our simulations agree well with the one dimensional analytical calculation, sug...
