GEM: Dynamics of Magnetosphere and Near-Earth Tail with an IMF by Component

拟议的项目旨在研究磁尾的动力学，通过使用一个完整的三维粒子在细胞（PIC）模拟代码。 建议的代码是完全动力学的，包括所有的物理包含在麦克斯韦方程。拟议的研究计划将集中在亚暴的基本物理机制。 亚暴所涉及的重联过程和电流中断过程本质上不适合用MHD模拟来解决。 因此，这项建议将涉及一个其他创业板建议均未涉及的重要议题

The proposed project seeks to investigate the dynamics of the magnetotail by using a full 3-dimensional particle in cell (PIC) simulation code. The proposed code is fully kinetic and includes all the physics contained in Maxwell's equations. The proposed research program would concentrate on the fundamental physical mechanisms of substorms. The reconnection process and current disruption process(es) that are involved in substorms are inherently not amenable to solution by MHD simulations. This proposal would therefore address an important topic that has not been addressed by any of the other GEM proposals
