The Nonlinear Dynamics of Quasi-Collisional Neutral Gases inthe Solar System (A Case Study of the Triton Tori)

AST-9619629 太阳系中准碰撞中性气体的非线性动力学（Triton Tori的一个例子研究）。 马可尼博士将对海卫一环面的物理学进行详细而严格的理论研究，海卫一环面是海王星周围的一个气体环，由其最大的卫星提供能量。 这项研究应该导致一个现实的模型，海卫一环，这将是使用其他研究小组有兴趣在海卫一和海王星的磁层。 该项目有三个相互交织的目标。 第一个目标是在一般意义上加强对太阳系准碰撞气体环非线性动力学的理论理解。 第二个目标是提供一个特定的气体模型的准碰撞海卫一原子氢，分子氢，氮环和评估其对海王星磁层的影响。 第三个目标是扩大和加强对天体物理气体在所有动力学状态下的研究，并制定一致的数值方案来描述这些气体。 ====================================

AST-9619629 The Nonlinear Dynamics of Quasi-Collisional Neutral Gases in the Solar System (A Case Study of the Triton Tori). Dr. Marconi will carry out a detailed and rigorous theoretical investigation of the physics of the Triton torus, a gas ring around Neptune fed by its largest satellite. This research should lead to a realistic model of the Triton tori which will be of use to other research groups interested in Triton and Neptune's magnetosphere. The project has three intertwined objectives. The first objective is to enhance in a general sense the theoretical understanding of the nonlinear dynamics of quasi- collisional gas tori in the Solar System. The second objective is to provide a specific gas model of the quasi-collisional Triton atomic hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, and nitrogen tori and evaluate their effects on the Neptune magnetosphere. The third objective is to broaden and enhance the study of astrophysical gases through all kinetic regimes and to develope consistent numerical schemes to describe them. ====================================
